Ørsted has revised commissioning timelines for Hornsea 3 and Borkum Riffgrund 3 due to grid operator delays and outages in the UK and Germany.

The cable-laying vessel BOKA Ocean has installed the final inter-array cable at Borkum Riffgrund 3, completing a four-campaign programme that also involved Ndeavor and earlier work with Rockpiper and DolWin epsilon in the area.

BOKA Ocean has completed the final inter-array cable at Ørsted’s 913 MW Borkum Riffgrund 3 offshore wind farm after more than 18 months and four campaigns, working closely with Ndeavor.

Borkum Riffgrund 3, Germany’s largest offshore wind farm, began feeding electricity to the grid on 3 December 2025, with full operation expected in Q1 2026.

Ørsted reported a DKK 1.7bn net loss in Q3 2025, reversing a prior-year profit as offshore wind earnings weakened amid lower wind speeds.
