The first electricity from the Vattenfall Vesterhav Syd offshore wind farm has been supplied to the Danish power grid.
This event was the culmination of almost seven years of work at the wind farm, when the blades of the first wind turbine were deployed and began generating electricity without fossil fuels, the company's press service reported.
Twenty wind turbines at Vesterhav Syd were installed from July to September this year, and now Vattenfall is performing the last electrical connection work.
Currently, two Vesterhav Syd turbines are generating electricity, and the remaining 18 are expected to be connected to the grid one after the other over the next weeks.
Vattenfall is also working on connecting the turbines of the Vesterhav Nord offshore wind farm to the power grid. Both wind farms will be fully connected to the grid at the end of the year.
Together, the Vesterhav Syd and the Nord Offshore wind farms will produce electricity without the use of fossil fuels, equivalent to the consumption of 350 thousand households, pro-arctic.ru reports.
