RWE and Northland Power announce that they have selected Havfram Wind, a Norwegian offshore wind construction company, as the preferred supplier for their Nordseecluster project.

Havfram Wind: transport and installation support for the Nordseecluster project

The project, located in the German North Sea, includes four offshore wind farm sites and has a total capacity of up to 1.6 GW. Havfram Wind will provide transportation and installation support for at least 104 Vestas offshore wind turbines, each with a capacity of 15 MW, beginning in 2026.

The Nordseecluster project is to provide green electricity equivalent to that consumed by 1,600,000 German households each year from 2029. The project is being built in two phases, with two wind farms currently in the permit application phase. Installation of the offshore turbines is expected to begin in 2026, with commercial operations beginning in early 2027.

RWE and Northland Power plan to exercise their intervention rights for both phases of the project at this year’s German offshore wind auction, as they did in 2021 for the first phase. Havfram Wind will use its new NG20000X Jack-Up vessel with a lifting capacity of 3,250 tons for the project.

Nordseecluster project goal: to supply green electricity from 2029

The selection of Havfram Wind as the preferred supplier for the Nordseecluster project is an important step in the development of this 1.6 GW offshore wind cluster. According to Benjamin Miethling, managing director of Nordseecluster at Northland Power, “We expect to achieve substantial economies of scale and exploit synergies throughout the development, construction and operation of the four wind farms. Our preferred supplier agreement with Havfram Wind, which encompasses all four projects, attests to the effectiveness of concentrating activities such as procurement.”

Sven Schulemann, managing director of Nordseecluster at RWE, added that “this is the next important step on our path to completing the 1.6 GW cluster. When Nordseecluster is fully operational in early 2029, it will produce enough green electricity to power the equivalent of 1,600,000 German homes each year.”

Indeed, the selection of Havfram Wind as the preferred supplier for the Nordseecluster project represents an important milestone for the project developers, RWE and Northland Power, in their 1.6 GW offshore wind farm in the German North Sea. The project is expected to provide green electricity equivalent to that consumed by 1,600,000 German households annually from 2029.
