Vattenfall and BASF have signed supply and service contracts with Vestas for 112 wind turbines of the type V236-15.0 MW. The turbines will be used in the Nordlicht 1 and 2 offshore wind projects owned by Vattenfall and BASF.
The Nordlicht wind farm area is located 85 kilometres north of the island of Borkum in the German North Sea and consists of two separate locations. Nordlicht 1 consists of 68 wind turbines with a total capacity of around 980 MW and Nordlicht 2 consists of 44 wind turbines with a total capacity of around 630 MW. Subject to the final investment decision, the construction of Nordlicht 1 and 2 is scheduled to start in 2026. According to the current state of planning, the wind turbines are to be erected in 2027 (Nordlicht 1) and 2028 (Nordlicht 2). The wind farms are expected to be fully operational in 2028.
