Nearest harbor to upcoming wind farms in the North Sea

In the North Sea off Hvide Sande, several wind farms are planned and screened in the coming years.
- Vesterhav Syd at 170MW consisting of 20 units of 8.4MW wind turbines, was put into operation in 2023 by Vattenfall about 6 nautical miles from Hvide Sande Harbor. Vattenfall has chosen Hvide Sande Harbor as the O&M center for this farm. Siemens/Gamesa used Hvide Sande Harbor for commissioning harbor during the construction phase in the summer of 2023.
- Thor Windfarm at 800-1000MW is planned for development by RWE about 24 nautical miles northwest of Hvide Sande Harbor by 2027 at the latest. There have been several vessels in Hvide Sande Harbor during the installation period related to the construction.

Nordsøen1 with 2 wind farms of each 1 GW has the Energy Agency planned for tender in the autumn of 2025, and with construction in the early 2030s
The 2 farms are located 20-30 nautical miles directly outside Hvide Sande Harbor.
