Danish company Hofor has bought 10 turbines back from Orsted at the 40MW Middelgrunden offshore wind farm off the coast of Denmark.
Middelgrunden was built in 2001 by Copenhagen Energy (now Hofor) and Middelgrundens Vindmollelaug and comprises 20 2MW machines.
In 2003, Copenhagen Energy sold its 10 turbine share to Energie E2, which is now part of Orsted.
Hofor said the plan now is to repower the wind farm, which is currently permitted to generate power until 2025.
Hofor director of economics and business Jan Kauffmann said repowering would ensure production beyond 2025.
He added that the new turbines would be of a similar size but more efficient.
