“With an annual capacity of 1,700 GWh per year, Horns Rev 3 is a significant contribution to our vision for fossil-free living within a generation. We are very pleased that we have now been awarded this certificate for Horns Rev 3 confirming that the wind farm is fit to perform for 25 years,” said Belén Fernández Montes , Certification Engineer at Vattenfall.
“We have had a good collaboration with DNV GL, where the evaluation included assessment on the maturity of the turbine design, its manufacturing, installation and commissioning processes as well as assessment of related documentation.”
