The Belgium company Jan De Nul has been tasked with installing 196 kilometres of inter-array cables that will connect Vestas’ 15 MW turbines. According to Vattenfall, the company will use its cable-laying vessel Connector for this task.
“Nordlicht is the sixth cable project for offshore renewable energy we have lined up in Germany. Adding to the installation of 107 foundations on Borkum Riffgrund 3 and Gode Wind 3 in 2024, Jan De Nul strengthens its position as a key player in the development of offshore green energy in Germany,” said Wouter Vermeersch , Director of Subsea Cables at Jan De Nul.
Previously, Vattenfall and BASF already awarded contracts to Havfram for transport and installation services and to TKF for the supply of cables.
The 980 MW Nordlicht 1 and the 630 MW Nordlicht 2 offshore wind farms are located around 85 kilometres north of the island of Borkum in the German North Sea.
Subject to final investment decisions in 2025, construction is set to begin in 2026, with full commissioning expected by 2028.
Once completed, the offshore wind farms’ combined production is expected to be around 6 TWh per year, equal to the electricity consumption of 1.7 million German households.
