Horns Rev 3 wind farm in the North Sea 25-40 km off the Danish Jutland coast will be a defining point for Vattenfall's production of wind power in Denmark and the rest of Europe.
Horns Rev 3 also sets new standards for the price of renewable energy from offshore wind farms and for the size of wind turbines in Danish waters.
- Vattenfall Vindkraft's agreement with the Danish State will thus make the production from Horns Rev 3 one of the cheapest in Europe, with a price for electricity of DKK 0.77 per kilowatt hour.
- With the construction of Horns Rev 3 with a capacity of 406.7 MW, Vattenfall is on its way to becoming one of Europe's largest producers of wind power.
- For Horns Rev 3, Vattenfall has opted for the world's most powerful wind turbine – an MHI Vestas V164 of 8.3 MW.
