East coast, UK - This will be the single largest offshore wind farm in the world.

Hitachi Energy has announced that they have won a major order from Ørsted, to provide two high-voltage direct current (HVDC) systems to transmit emission-free electricity from the Hornsea Three wind farm, located more than 120 km off the UK east coast.

The wind farm should have the capacity to generate at least 2.85 gigawatts of renewable electricity, enough to power more than 3 million UK homes.

According to Hitachi Energy, this will be the single largest offshore wind farm in the world. This project should be a significant step towards the British Energy Security Strategy of sourcing up to 50 gigawatts of offshore wind capacity by 2030.
