Jan De Nul has awarded CRP Subsea a contract to supply cable protection systems for inter-array cables at Vattenfall’s Nordlicht I offshore wind farm in the German North Sea.

The order covers 141 NjordGuard cable protection systems for the 980 MW project. CRP Subsea is engineering three CPS variants to match installation requirements at monopile and J-tube interfaces.

Production is taking place at CRP Subsea’s facility in north-west England. Engineering work has already started, and delivery is scheduled for December 2026.

At Nordlicht I, Jan De Nul will install the inter-array cables, while TKF will supply the cable system linking 68 Vestas V236-15.0 MW turbines to the offshore substation. The wind farm will connect to TenneT’s BorWin kappa platform under the BorWin6 grid link.

Vattenfall took FID on Nordlicht I in 2025 and on Nordlicht II at the start of 2026. Offshore work on Nordlicht I is set to start in 2026, with Nordlicht II to follow in 2027. Both projects are due to enter operation in 2028. Once completed, Nordlicht I is expected to be Germany’s largest offshore wind farm, while the full 1.6 GW Nordlicht development will rank as the world’s second largest, according to Vattenfall.
