Hornsea Four offshore wind farm given the go-ahead by Government

The fourth and final wind farm in the Hornsea Zone has been consented.

Orsted’s Hornsea Four, to be operated and maintained from Grimsby, has been cleared by Grant Shapps, Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero. It had been subject to a lengthy delay as environmental compensation measures were clarified.

The 2.6GW addition will bring further jobs to Grimsby, as a key project to be served from its £14 million East Coast Hub, where the company envisages employing more than 800 people from by 2030.
