Ørsted achieves full capacity at 573-MW offshore wind facility in England

Ørsted A/S has achieved full generation capacity at the 573-MW Race Bank offshore wind facility in England.

The offshore wind farm reached full power on schedule and uses 91 Siemens Gamesa 6-MW wind turbines, according to a Feb. 1 release. The wind farm covers 75 square kilometers and is approximately 16.8 miles off Blakeney Point on the north Norfolk coast and 17.4 miles off the Lincolnshire Coast at Chapel St. Leonards.

Ørsted owns a 50% stake in the wind project with Macquarie European Infrastructure Fund 5 LP owning 25% and Macquarie Capital and Sumitomo Corp. each owning a 12.5% interest.

The facility will be operated and maintained by a team based in Grimsby, England, for the project's lifetime.
