Just over a year after Ventyr secured the rights to develop Norway's first large-scale offshore wind project (Sørlige Nordsjø II), work to design the project is moving forward.
Ventyr has worked diligently to meet the deadlines stated in the agreement with the Ministry of Energy, greatly assisted by, among others, Norconsult, which is also examining possible environmental, natural, and for the scope of work related to the onshore infrastructure.
First phase of the project
Ventyr is now taking the project one step further by starting the design and planning of the onshore grid connection. For this task Ventyr has also chosen to work with Norconsult.
Sørlige Nordsjø II will have a maximum capacity of 1,500 MW and will become Norway's largest power plant.
“Choosing Norconsult as our partner for this important phase of the Sørlige Nordsjø II project reflects our commitment to progress, quality, and sustainability. With their deep expertise in renewable energy and strong local presence, Norconsult is helping us take an important step toward delivering Norway’s first large-scale offshore wind project,” says Paula Souto, Electrical Package Manager at Ventyr.
Several assignments
Norconsult has previously undertaken assignments for Ventyr in connection with Sørlige Nordsjø II. In autumn 2024, Ventyr chose Norconsult as an advisor to carry out the onshore and nearshore environmental impact assessment.
“Ventyr's initial choice of Norconsult as an advisor for maturing the project and environmental impact assessment – is a significant recognition of Norconsult's capacity and expertise. We greatly appreciate the collaboration we have with Ventyr”, says Director of Business Development at Norconsult, Stein Erik Skilhagen.
Norconsult's experts in power systems and environmental mapping are working together with Ventyr to find the most efficient and sustainable solution for power landing.
