On 25 March 2025, Vattenfall took the final investment decision (FID) to build the Nordlicht I and Nordlicht II offshore wind farms in the German North Sea, confirming full investment for the 980 MW Nordlicht I project and a conditional FID for Nordlicht II pending its permit. The decision enables construction to start in 2026 with both wind farms targeted to be operational in 2028, delivering more than 1.6 GW of capacity with turbine towers partly made from low-emission steel.
