The world’s largest offshore air -developer is stopping a huge UK project by pushing Britain’s clear energy target, blaming the risk of increasing expenditure and delay.
On Wednesday, Arstade said that they were stopping the contract spending on the Hornsi 4 project in the North Sea and the cancellation of the contract, which was a 2.5 gigawatt project that was able to strengthen more than a million houses.
The project won an agreement from the UK government last year so that it guarantees a fixed electricity price of $ 58.87 per megawatt hour, however Rsted It is said that it is currently the proposed air farm cannot work.
CEO Rasmas Ero said, “Hostile collective economic development, the challenges of continuous supply chains and extended editing, market and operational risks have reduced the price creation.”
He also added that the company will retain development rights and “make the project more valuable for us and our shareholders in such a way” will try to develop the project “.
The Danish Energy Organization has said that this decision will spend this year DKR3.5BN-DKR4.5BN (£ 399MN-£ 513MN) to spend a break from the contract with suppliers.
The UK government wants the country’s offshore wind power to extend the power system more than three times by 20 to meet decorbonizing goals.
Hornsi 4, away from the coast of Yorkshire, is bid for the first time between the largest offshore air farm and two of these projects to secure a government deal in the last year’s auction round.
The decision of the Arstade came because it tried to recover its credibility with shareholders after several years of injury where it has gone away from offshore projects in the United States.
The underlying company of a company was appointed chief executive in January to replace the predecessor MADS Nipper, who presided over the higher the company’s share price by January 2021. Currently the price of the company is valuable at D KR 112BN ($ 12.7 billion).
The offshore air sector has been struggling in the past few years, which have arisen from the supply chain strain and higher interest rates in the last few years. This year, the industry has suffered further injury as a result of the decision to suspend US President Donald Trump’s development permission.
Ero last month warned that the industry was at risk of a “downward spiral” and called for European governments to do more to support the sector.
The suspension of the Hornsi 4 Project’s Arrest in July 2023, followed by the Swedish rivals Vatenfal’s decision, is also due to an increasing expenditure on its 1.4GW air farm project on the coast of Norfolk.
The Norfok Borius project was subsequently sold to the German Energy Group RWE, which plans to develop it.
The UK Department for Energy Security and Net Zero says it “Hornsia will work with Rosted to return to the back of 4 tracks”.
A spokesperson of the department added: “We have recognized the impacts of the worldwide high inflation and supply chains in the industry throughout Europe.
