“Over the past 13 years, the Norfolk team has done a great job in developing the three offshore wind projects. I am very happy to welcome them to our global offshore wind team and we will rely on their expertise to take forward the projects’ delivery in one of the world’s most attractive regions for offshore wind. Equally, I am looking forward to continuing the work with our supply chain partners. I’d also like to thank the Vattenfall team and The Crown Estate for their work in facilitating a smooth handover of the Norfolk projects to ensure a seamless transition,” Sven Utermöhlen, CEO of RWE Offshore Wind.
The Norfolk Vanguard West and Norfolk Vanguard East projects are most advanced, having secured the procurement of most key components. The next milestone in the development of the Norfolk Vanguard West and the Norfolk Vanguard East projects is to secure a Contract for Difference (CfD) in one of the upcoming auctions. RWE will resume the development of the Norfolk Boreas project, which was previously halted. As a next step, the RWE Norfolk team will work on securing preferred supplier agreements for all key components and will then entre the project in a CfD auction at a later date.
