The Danish manufacturer Vestas has secured a firm order from Sweden’s Vattenfall to supply wind turbines for the 1 GW Nordlicht 1 offshore wind project, located off the German North Sea coast. Under the agreement, Vestas will supply 68 of its V236-15.0 MW wind turbines rated 15 MW each for the project. The agreement is for the supply, installation, and commissioning of the turbines. The scope of the contract includes a comprehensive 5-year service and warranty agreement followed by a 25-year operational support agreement. The order for Nordlicht 1 totals 1,020 MW, with a grid connection capacity of 980 MW and an excess capacity of 40 MW to use the connection capacity as efficiently as possible. In March 2025, Vattenfall had taken a final investment decision on the Nordlicht 1 and 2 offshore wind projects, which together total 1.6 GW. Turbines for Nordlicht 1 are expected to be installed in 2027 and the wind park is expected to be operational in 2028.
In addition, Vestas has also signed onshore wind turbines orders with wpd for eight undisclosed wind parks totalling 154 MW in Germany.
