RWE is building the Thor offshore wind farm in the Danish North Sea, on the west coast of Jutland, approximately 22 kilometres from Thorsminde in the municipality of Holstebro. With a planned capacity of more than 1,000 MW, Thor is Denmark’s largest offshore wind farm to date.
Once fully operational, which is planned no later than the end of 2027, the wind farm will be capable of producing enough green electricity to supply the equivalent of more than a million households, or one in three Danish households.
On 31 March 2025, RWE has announced that Norges Bank Management Investment would acquire a 49% stake in the Thor project. RWE remains in charge of construction and operations throughout the lifecycle of the offshore wind farm. Closing of this transaction is subject to customary approvals and expected by beginning of the third quarter of 2025. Learn more in the press release.

About RWE in Denmark
RWE sees Denmark as a strategic growth market. Denmark was the first country in the world to erect offshore wind back in 1991. It has favourable wind conditions and strong ambitions for developing offshore wind.
We have been in Denmark since 2008 with Rødsand II, south of the island of Lolland. In the summer of 2022, we also opened an office in Copenhagen and have since grown from a handful of employees to more than 50 in less than a year, including technicians, technical and market experts.
