CS WIND Offshore has received the Final Notice to Proceed (FNTP) for the manufacture of 44 transition pieces for the Nordlicht II offshore wind project.

The FNTP follows confirmation in January that the permit for the Nordlicht II offshore wind farm is irrevocable. With this confirmation, the full final investment decision for both Nordlicht I and Nordlicht II has been secured.

Under the awarded scope, the total programme for CS WIND Offshore comprises 68 transition pieces, including 24 units for Nordlicht I and 44 units for Nordlicht II. Production is scheduled for 2026–2027.

Each transition piece will have a height of 23.7 m, a diameter of 7.8 m and a unit weight of approximately 400 tonnes.

The company noted that planning activities have been ongoing for some time and that issuance of the FNTP represents a formal milestone for the project and its suppliers. Production for the Nordlicht programme is expected to result in a high level of utilisation at the Aalborg manufacturing site during the year.
