Orsted selects Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy as its supplier for Hornsea Project two

It is to brought to notice that Orsted has selected Siemens Gamesa to be its exclusive supplier of Hornsea Project Two that will deploy the SGRE 8 megawatt (MW) turbine with 167 metre rotor, with the majority of the turbine blades delivered from the SGRE facility in Hull.

Hornsea Project Two will be built 89 kilometres from the Yorkshire coast and has a capacity of 1.4 gigawatts (GW), meaning it will produce enough green energy to power over 1.3 million UK homes. Hornsea Project Two will be operated from Ørsted’s new operations and maintenance hub in Grimsby, where construction is underway.

Duncan Clark, Programme Director for Hornsea Project Two at Ørsted, said: “We’re pleased to have selected Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy (SGRE) for the delivery of turbines for the world’s biggest offshore wind farm. The SGRE factory in Hull has already been producing blades for our Race Bank and Walney Extension projects, and will produce the majority of blades for Hornsea Project One. This selection paves the way for more, and even larger, UK made blades at a UK offshore wind farm, underlining this country’s world-leading position in the sector.”
