Offshore construction firm Havfram has finalized a pivotal contract for the transportation and installation of turbines as part of RWE's ambitious 1600MW Nordseecluster projects, integrating four wind farm sites in the eastern sector of the German North Sea.
In adherence to the agreement, Havfram Wind will oversee the transportation and provide support for installing 104 Vestas offshore wind turbines, each boasting a formidable capacity of 15MW. The deployment plan includes the use of Havfram's recently constructed turbine installation vessels, spanning two distinct construction phases.
Commencing with Phase A in 2026, followed by Phase B in 2028, the Nordseecluster initiative aspires to supply green electricity equivalent to the annual needs of 1,600,000 German households by 2029.
Expressing contentment over the successful negotiation conclusion with RWE for the Nordseecluster projects, Havfram Wind CEO Even Larsen underscored the company's commitment to deploying a modern fleet and highly skilled teams for projects of this magnitude.
Sven Schulemann, RWE's Managing Director of Nordseecluster, highlighted efficiency objectives, aiming for substantial economies of scale and capitalizing on synergies throughout the development, construction, and operation phases of the four wind farms. The comprehensive agreement with Havfram Wind spans all four projects, demonstrating efficiency gains through streamlined activities like procurement.
It's crucial to note that the realization of all deliverables remains contingent upon final investment decisions for each of the individual phases of Nordseecluster (A and B).
