Local Community

Wind power has great environmental advantages, while also providing economic growth – both locally and regionally.

A wind farm creates benefits for everyone, but mainly impacts those who live and work in the area. In the coming years, offshore wind will be built on a huge scale in Danish waters.

Therefore, we need to think about social sustainability in terms of local inclusion to ensure our projects bring a positive contribution the local communities. Municipalities and regions with a large production of cheap, green electricity from wind power also attract new businesses, leading potentially to more jobs and increased tax revenues. RWE is intent on using a skilled local workforce during both construction and daily operations of our projects, in port and offshore.


Local job creation

It is a key focus for RWE to secure a qualified workforce and ensure career opportunities for local people in the communities where we operate.

RWE already has a substantial presence in Denmark with the operations of Rødsand II offshore wind farm. The wind farm employs Danish workers, dedicated to the green transition. Similarly, we are committed to bring local benefits with the coming offshore wind farm Thor, which will be operated from the port of Thorsminde. As part of this, operations of Thor is expected to create 50-60 local jobs. In addition, we have committed to bring in apprentices for the project. To support our efforts to secure apprentices, we have partnered with Universitetscenter Holstebro (UCH).
