Offshore wind power developer Ørsted has conducted a cable pull in at Lincolnshire’s Horseshoe Point beach.

The operation saw 2.4 km of a total 39 km of cable being installed towards the landfall, in preparation for Ørsted’s latest and largest offshore wind farm. Boskalis’ CLV Ndurance (pictured) sailed from Norway to Horseshoe Point for the operation.

Currently under construction and anticipated to be complete in 2022, Hornsea Two will be the biggest offshore wind farm in the world, says Ørsted. With its 165 wind turbines, each rated at 8 MW, Hornsea Two will generate 1.4 GW of power.
