Cadeler and Vattenfall Sign Strategic Collaboration MOU

Cadeler A/S, through Nexra, its dedicated offshore wind service platform, and Vattenfall Vindkraft AB have entered into a memorandum of understanding for a strategic collaboration to explore the development of next-generation operations & maintenance solutions for the offshore wind industry. The collaboration will focus on advancing innovative Major Component Exchange capabilities, combining operational expertise, service methodologies, and long-term planning to explore more efficient and scalable approaches to offshore wind maintenance and support the evolving needs of offshore wind asset owners and operators. As the global installed base of offshore wind turbines continues to grow and mature, efficient maintenance strategies and access to specialised MCE capabilities are becoming increasingly important to ensuring long-term asset performance, reliability and availability. Through the collaboration, Nexra and Vattenfall will explore concepts and solutions designed to improve the efficiency, safety and scalability of offshore wind maintenance activities across multiple turbine platforms, with the ambition of supporting more predictable and effective maintenance of offshore wind assets.

Cadeler Completes Final Turbine Installation at He Dreiht Offshore Wind Farm

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 of the installation campaign was executed using two of Cadeler's offshore wind installation vessels. Wind Orca commenced the project in April 2025 before Wind Keeper took over the remaining installation scope in the first quarter of 2026 under Cadeler's long-term contract with Vestas announced last year. The project marked Wind Keeper's first offshore wind installation campaign since joining the Cadeler fleet following her acquisition and comprehensive upgrade. Developed by EnBW, He Dreiht consists of 64 Vestas V236-15.0 MW wind turbines and marks the first commercial-scale installation of Vestas' flagship offshore wind turbine. Once fully operational, the wind farm will generate enough renewable electricity to supply approximately 1.1 million households.

Cadeler Acquires Menck to Strengthen Offshore Wind Capabilities
