Aker Solutions, in a consortium with Siemens Energy, has received the full notice to proceed from RWE for the HVDC scope of work for the Norfolk Vanguard West and East offshore wind farms.

The Norfolk Vanguard West and East represent the first phase of RWE’s Norfolk Offshore Wind Zone, which also includes the Norfolk Boreas developments.

Aker Solutions has provided work for the projects under a limited notice to proceed announced in November 2023.

The project is being executed through a consortium consisting of Aker Solutions and Siemens Energy.

Aker Solutions’ scope includes engineering, procurement, construction and installation (EPCI) of the high voltage direct current (HVDC) offshore platform, while Siemens Energy is responsible for the onshore station as well as the high voltage equipment in the offshore substations.

The joint venture between Aker Solutions and Drydocks World will deliver the two HVDC platforms.

Fabrication of the platform topsides will be executed by Drydocks World in Dubai, while the fabrication of the substructure will be executed by Aker Solutions’ yard in Verdal, Norway.

Project execution has started, with engineering and procurement activities ongoing for both platform topsides and substructures.

Fabrication of the Norfolk Vanguard West platform started at Drydocks World in April
