Revenue & offtake the regime the project was built under
Offtake regime: PSO tariff (demonstrator project)
A built project sells its power under the contract or support regime it was financed with; it is not expected to bid into new government offtake rounds. Where the record does not yet name that regime, the row says so rather than guessing.
Installation how the build is going · from satellite counts and Hafrok’s registers
Satellite survey
the farm as it stands, counted from satellite radar images · built before the count began, so there is no build to chart
Satellite survey
Structures standing3≈3 turbines + 0 platforms expected · every expected structure seen
Surveyed2026-09-02≈from 107 satellite passes
Built2009 → 2011offshore construction to start of operation, from the record
Hafrok counts the structures standing in the sea from satellite radar images (≈) and reads the count against the turbines and platforms on record. The farm was built before this count began, so the images show it complete; they cannot date its construction. Rows marked with a dot (·) come from Hafrok’s own registers.

Farm covered100%≈the whole farm lies inside the image
Structures ringed3 confirmed · 0 not yet confirmed≈as counted on 2026-09-02 · the image is newer than the count, so a bright spot without a ring may be a structure not yet counted
