Horns Rev 2 in the North Sea has supplied its first CO2-neutral power to the Danish electricity grid. During the coming season, the wind turbines will continuously be commissioned as they get ready.



Up to production of the first power, the process has been the following:

• Installation of 91 foundations (May-October 2008) 
• Erection of the first wind turbine (19 March 2009) 
• Voltage from shore to transformer platform (7 April 2009) 
• Voltage to row (seven wind turbines) (10 May 2009) 
• Production of first power from G3 (13 May 2009) 

"The first power from Horns Rev 2 is a concrete example of our efforts to increase production of renewables. I am therefore pleased that we, together with our partners, have been able to realise the Horns Rev 2 project and get so far,”, says Niels Bergh-Hansen, CEO in DONG Energy Power.

When the wind farm is completed at the end og 2009, it will supply electricity to more than 200.000 households.
