Major UK wind power project Hornsea 4 is shelved.
7 May 2025
Developers have pulled the plug on one of the UK’s biggest offshore wind projects.
Danish renewables firm Ørsted said its decision to “discontinue” the 2.4 GW Hornsea 4 wind farm “in its current form” was a result of rising supply chain costs and higher interest rates.
A government spokesperson said the government would “work with Ørsted to get Hornsea 4 back on track”.
