Once fully operational, the Nordlicht I and II projects' combined production is expected to be around 6 terawatt-hours (TWh) per year, equal to the electricity consumption of 1.6 million German households. The Nordlicht cluster will significantly reduce carbon emissions and strengthen the region's green energy infrastructure.
Even Larsen, CEO of Havfram Wind stated: "We are thrilled to have been selected for this substantial role in the Nordlicht cluster, combining the Nordlicht I and Nordlicht II wind farms. For Havfram, this contract adds to an already strong backlog of projects. The contract, which we proudly have signed at the WindEnergy exhibition fair today, is a testament to the trust Vattenfall and BASF have in our capabilities in delivering excellent transport and installation services and reinforces our growing reputation within the offshore wind sector. We look forward to contributing to the success of this landmark project and advancing the transition to sustainable energy in Europe together with our partners Vattenfall and BASF."
Samira Barakat, Acting Head of Offshore Wind at Vattenfall: "Vattenfall's goal of achieving net-zero CO2 emissions by 2040 requires that we also reduce greenhouse gas emissions along the entire value chain. This partnership with Havfram showcases our commitment to investing in assets that enable our wind farms to be developed in a sustainable manner. The use of a low-emission installation vessel is an important step on our path towards fossil freedom and we are pleased to work together with Havfram, a trusted partner that shares our strategic ambitions."
Tobias Stäb, Director of BASF Renewable Energy GmbH, added: "With the signature of this contract, we are one step closer to the realization of the Nordlicht projects. The Nordlicht wind parks play an important role in BASF's transformation towards carbon neutrality. The wind farms will supply our European chemical sites with renewable power and eventually enable BASF to increase production of low-carbon footprint chemical products. Thanks to the Havfram team for the collaboration!"
