As the market leader in renewable energy, DONG Energy has recently announced that it has begun onshore preparations for the world’s largest offshore wind farm, Hornsea Project One.
The Hornsea Zone
Last year, DONG Energy acquired full ownership of Hornsea Project One; the 1.2 gigawatt windfarm has now moved into its construction phase. DONG Energy also acquired development rights for the remainder of the Hornsea zone which will see projects two, three and four forming an important part of the business’s post-2020 pipeline.
Supplying to 1M UK Homes
With 174 wind turbines, the Hornsea Project One wind farm will be capable of supplying electricity to more than 1 million UK homes by 2020. On completion, it will also become the world’s first gigawatt scale wind farm.
Five Year Framework
In 2014, Atlas signed a five year framework agreement with DONG to supply temporary personnel for all of DONG’s offshore wind farm projects based in the UK.
“It’s great to be able to support DONG with such an exciting project that will provide fantastic employment opportunities for the Hornsea area. Atlas will be working hard to provide as many local professionals to the project as possible and would welcome local applicants to contact us,” says Laura Smith, Offshore Wind Business Manager.
Looking for a Job locally?
Atlas’ Offshore Wind office, based in Bristol will be looking for experienced onshore and offshore professionals for the entire life cycle of the wind farm from the planning stage through to the construction and O&M phase.
Potential professionals based locally to the Hornsea area are of particular interest to DONG Energy.
