Final investment decision taken on 1.6 GW Offshore wind farms in Germany
Vattenfall has made the final investment decision on the 1.6 GW Nordlicht 1 and 2 offshore wind farms located 85 km north of the island of Borkum in the German North Sea.
The wind cluster consists of two separate sites: Nordlicht 1 with a capacity of around 980 MW and Nordlicht 2 with around 630 MW. Both wind farms will feature wind turbine towers partially made with low-emission steel, reducing their overall carbon footprint by 16%. Once fully operational, electricity production is expected to total around 6 TWh annually.
Vattenfall will repurchase the shares in the Nordlicht cluster that BASF acquired in 2024. At the same time, BASF secured access to a long-term supply of renewable electricity, continuing the collaboration. Construction of the wind farms is planned to begin in 2026 and is expected to become operational in 2028.
