Wind turbine installation for the 900 MW Nordseecluster B is expected to commence in 2028 with commercial operation planned to start at the beginning of 2029.
“With the addition of Nordseecluster B to our portfolio of projects in execution, we’re building offshore wind farms with a total capacity of 4.8 gigawatts. Working closely with our supply chain partners is critical to the successful delivery of this ambitious programme and we’re very much looking forward to working with Vestas on our German offshore project Nordseecluster,” said Thomas Michel , Chief Operating Officer, RWE Offshore Wind.
The Nordseecluster is being implemented in two phases, Nordseecluster A and Nordseecluster B.
The first phase of the project, the 660 MW Nordseecluster A, was announced as a firm order in June 2024 and comprises 44 V236-15.0 MW turbines.
RWE made the final investment decision for the Nordseecluster project in the German North Sea at the end of May 2024 and has already signed several key supplier contracts.
Dajin Offshore will manufacture the foundations for the wind turbines, which will be installed at the Nordseecluster site, located about 50 kilometres north of Juist Island, by Van Oord .
Vestas’ 15 MW wind turbines will be installed by Havfram Wind , using its installation vessels Norse Wind and Norse Energi .
