Energinet.dk has located the part of the Horns Rev 2 subsea cable which caused the offshore wind farm’s connection to go out of service on Monday.
The transmission system operator (TSO) reported that the error has been found approximately 800 meters from Energinet.dk’s platform at sea, which collects electricity from numerous wind turbines in the North Sea.
The cable is still out of service, and Energinet.dk is preparing to carry out the repair work. The cable is scheduled to be repaired by November 25, subject to weather conditions.
