Vestas Wind Systems A/S

Cadeler has completed the final turbine installation at the 960 MW He Dreiht Offshore Wind Farm in the German North Sea. The final turbines were installed by Wind Keeper under its long-term contract with Vestas. Cadeler's scope was executed using two vessels, with Wind Orca starting in April 2025 and Wind Keeper taking over in the first quarter of 2026. The project marks the first commercial-scale installation of Vestas' V236-15.0 MW flagship turbine, with 64 units installed for developer EnBW. Once fully operational, the wind farm will supply approximately 1.1 million households.

The UK Government has introduced a series of initiatives totalling £15m, or $20m, to accelerate technological innovation in the offshore wind sector. Announced through Innovate UK, the package includes a £10m Offshore Wind Innovation Programme competition for high-potential UK businesses developing advanced turbine technology, next-generation foundations, and future electrical systems. A £5m Wind Innovation Hub will bring together industry, government, and researchers, and will introduce an Innovation Accelerator fund providing up to £2m in targeted technical support for fast-growing offshore wind companies. Additionally, phase one of the Large Structures Innovation Centre on the Isle of Wight will receive £10m from Innovate UK and £2m from the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero, with Vestas named as its first industry launch partner. UK Energy Minister Michael Shanks said offshore wind is the backbone of the future energy system and that the measures will help businesses grow, support jobs, and speed up the clean power transition.
