First Power

DELAYED +0mo (May 2026): Re-assessed: Vattenfall’s official press releases state the wind farms are expected to be operational in 2028, and third-party coverage of Vattenfall’s timeline references commissioning of first turbines in autumn 2027. Without a Vattenfall source that explicitly states 'first power/commissioning in autumn 2027' for Nordlicht I alone, keep first_power as a 2027 year-grain milestone (likely late-2027 first generation ahead of 2028 full operations) rather than pushing into 2028. DELAYED +0mo (May 2026): Vattenfall’s project update indicates construction begins in 2026 with monopile installation in Q3 2026 and that Nordlicht wind farms are expected to be operational in 2028. That implies first power is likely in 2028; the current projection already says 'autumn 2027' but is anchored at year-end 2027. Updating to a year-grain 2027-12-31 to match 'autumn 2027' is not possible without a month/quarter source; therefore shifting first_power to align with 'operational in 2028' and reduce inconsistency between first power and COD projections. --- The first turbines of Vattenfall’s Nordlicht I offshore wind farm, part of the 1.6 GW Nordlicht cluster in the German North Sea, are expected to start generating power and come online in autumn 2027, ahead of full commissioning planned for 2028.
