Danish Manufacturer Wins Competitors and Becomes Preferred Supplier for Offshore Wind Farm in the United Kingdom. The Norfolk Vanguard Complex Will Have 1.4 GW Phases.
The company Vestas has consolidated its position as a leader by winning one of the largest offshore turbine contracts in the United Kingdom for Vattenfall’s 2,800 MW Norfolk Vanguard complex, located in eastern England. The Danish manufacturer is about to be confirmed as the preferred supplier of the Swedish developer, surpassing competitors Siemens Gamesa and GE in negotiations, according to sources. Vestas will provide its V236-15.0MW platform (shown at the Osterild test site) for the 1.4 GW East and 1.4 GW West phases of the project in the North Sea. Both projects are expected to feature around 92 turbines each. Installation is scheduled to begin around 2027 to align with the delivery of foundations from SeAH Wind, which received a £900 million contract to manufacture monopiles in its North Sea.
The announcement is a blow to Siemens Gamesa, which had been named the preferred supplier in 2021 for the full development of Norfolk, including the now-suspended 1.4 GW Boreas project. Vattenfall decided to return to the market after opting not to bid for Vanguard in this year’s AR5. Among the ongoing discussions between the developer and Vestas are options for manufacturing and sourcing in the United Kingdom, according to sources. The Danish manufacturer Vestas is ahead in yet another major project in the wind energy sector.
