Our team has recently completed the final assembly of the first Transition Piece, representing a significant milestone for the Nordlicht 1 project.

Looking around our site, we see sections for the other Transitions Pieces lined up, and soon we will start coating the first TP.

Overall, the project has had a very promising start. The collaboration between Vattenfall and CS WIND Offshore is characterized by professionalism, transparency, and a strong safety culture, something we value highly at both companies.

We are committed to maintaining this momentum and delivering high-quality components for the Nordlicht 1 offshore wind farm, which is set to become Germany’s largest offshore wind farm.

We are proud of our contribution and will deliver a total of 68 Transition Pieces.
