Meet our giants

in a seaplane

Exclusive student event

– free of charge

The Ørsted seaplane safari is your chance to get up close with one of Europe’s largest offshore wind farms in a seaplane.

You’ll fly in a propeller powered seaplane together with other selected students from either Copenhagen Harbour or Aarhus Harbour to the offshore wind farm off the island of Anholt. The wind farm consists of 111 wind turbines, covering an area of 88 km2.

The plane will fly at an altitude of 150 metres above sea level, barely above the swoosh of the towering giants rising out of the sea. Each of the wind turbines weigh 450 tons and rise 141 metres from the sea with a rotor diameter of 120 metres – topping the length of a football field with about 20 metres.

Date and time 


Aarhus: 8 September 2020, from 08:45 to 15:00

Are you a business, engineering or IT student?

As we start the day together, you’ll learn more about how we push the boundaries of what’s possible within renewable energy. You’ll also hear about career opportunities and life as a graduate at Ørsted.

After the presentations, the seaplane will take off for a flight overlooking the offshore wind farm close to Anholt and return to the harbour. We’ll end the day with some coffee, tea and cake.
