FREDERICIA, Denmark — Diamond Transmission Partners Hornsea Two (DTP) has agreed to acquire transmission assets in the Hornsea 2 wind farm, 90 km from the Yorkshire coast in the UK southern North Sea.
The sellers are Breesea, Soundmark Wind and Sonningmay Wind, a joint venture owned by Ørsted and AXA IM Alts/Crédit Agricole Assurances. The assets include the onshore substation, export cables, offshore reactive compensation substation and the offshore substation.
According to an assessment by Ofgem, the combined value is $1.141 billion.
