Welcome to an offshore wind farm


DONG Energy has been working on wind power for many years, but there is still extensive room for development. Wind turbine size is being regularly enhanced, wind turbines are being installed offshore, and wind turbine locations are being scrutinised in order to optimise wind utilisation - factors that make more stringent demands on both turbines, foundations, access conditions, availability, operational control, management and maintenance.
