Estimated IRR uplift from a co-located battery at Hesselø and Hornsea 3, post-tax and nominal, across three battery sizes from 100 MW / 200 MWh to 300 MW / 600 MWh. High price volatility lifts the uplift above the low volatility cases at every size, and Hesselø sits above Hornsea 3 in both. Source: Aegir Quant modeling, September 2026.

Bar chart of Western OEM wind turbine manufacturing capacity from 2026 to 2035 against Aegir Insights' central demand scenario outside China. Supply exceeds demand until 2028, then the demand line crosses above the bars and supply flips to deficit in 2029. A bracket at 2035 shows supply 40 percent under the high-demand scenario and 62 percent over the low-demand scenario.
