Although the Hornsea 3 Offshore Wind Farm has not yet been built, as part of the construction process Ørsted must outline how the offshore wind farm will be taken down or ‘decommissioned’ at the end of its life.
In other words, the purpose of the Decommissioning Programme is to provide preliminary information on the methods and approaches on how the offshore components will be decommissioned at the end of the operational lifetime of the Project.
