Aker Solutions, in a consortium with Siemens Energy, was selected by Vattenfall as preferred bidder for the Norfolk offshore wind project located in the North Sea off the coast of Norfolk, UK.
If Vattenfall proceeds with this development, the intention is to conclude an EPCI contract where the consortium will deliver HVDC converter platforms for the grid connection infrastructure.
The Norfolk wind zone consists of the Norfolk Vanguard and Norfolk Boreas offshore wind farms. The planned 3.6 GW total installed capacity will make this one of the largest offshore zones in the world at the time of completion. We’re extremely confident both in our choice of Siemens Energy - Aker Solutions as preferred bidder and in our decision to use innovative HVDC technology. Siemens Energy - Aker Solutions excelled during the feasibility and concept stage, bringing strong technical capabilities to the process, said Catrin Jung, Head of Business Development Offshore at Vattenfall.

Offshore wind is the key element of government’s and the independent Committee on Climate Change’s blue-print to drastically cut our carbon emissions by 2030, and achieve net zero by 2050. We hope East Anglia will share our pride in the Norfolk Vanguard and Norfolk Boreas offshore wind farm projects, which by the late 2020s could deliver enough low carbon electricity for 3.9 million UK homes, and prevent 6 million tonnes of CO2 from entering the atmosphere every year. At the end of this challenging year, which has brought loss and sadness to us, we are reflecting on what we really care about and what matters most to us, our children and future generations.
