Vattenfall intends to build Nordlicht I, an offshore wind farm with an installed capacity of 980MW without government subsidies off the coast of Germany.
Subject to the company's final investment decision, Nordlicht I can go online by the end of 2027. The construction area for Nordlicht I is around 85 kilometres north of the island of Borkum. As part of the bidding process for this area, Vattenfall asserted its so-called right of entry in autumn 2022. The initial name for the project was N-7.2 which was a standardised identifier for the project area.
