Nordseecluster A: turbine installation under way north of Juist
RWE has installed the first turbine at Nordseecluster A, north of the island of Juist in the German North Sea. The first phase has 44 Vestas turbines of up to 15 MW (145 m hub height, 115 m blades), installed by DEME's vessel Norse Wind, which carries up to five turbine sets per trip. All 44 should be standing by the end of 2026, with full grid connection planned for early 2027. The 900 MW Nordseecluster B follows, with foundations in 2027 and turbines in 2028.

Apply now. Installation campaigns fill early and the crews are usually set before the vessel arrives.
Phase A is too soon. Get BST and BTT this winter and aim for phase B installation in 2028.
Service teams for both phases build up from 2027. Vestas experience counts.
