Cable Installation Complete

DELAYED +11mo (Apr 2026): Contract material for the ORH‑VONØ Offshore Works (Energinet Eltransmission – JD Contractor A/S) indicates submarine cable works were originally expected in 2026 and had to be completed by summer 2027. Energinet's LUP24 geographic project list still shows a 2027 idriftsættelse year for the broader 132 kV Lolland og Sydsjælland fase 3+4 project (which includes Vordingborg Nord–Orehoved), but earlier milestones on the ORH‑SPA/ORH‑VONØ chain have slipped relative to their initial April 2025 onshore construction window and there is no public evidence of offshore works having begun. In line with the guidance to be sceptical of unchanged developer dates after upstream slippage, I extend the offshore installation window by about a year and place expected completion around the end of Q2 2028, allowing realistic time for marine installation, jointing and testing before commissioning. DELAYED +6mo (Apr 2026): The ORH‑VONØ Offshore Works contract (Energinet Eltransmission – JD Contractor A/S) states that submarine cable works are expected in 2026 and must be completed by summer 2027. The previous 2027‑01‑01 completion date is therefore optimistic; shifting to mid‑2027 better matches the stated "summer 2027" deadline. --- The offshore cable installation works for ORH-VONØ—comprising load out, transport, laying and protection of two 7 km submarine cables across the Storstrømmen strait—are planned to be completed by summer 2027 under the contract with JD Contractor A/S. --- CONFIRMED BY EXTERNAL SOURCE: EnergiWatch (2025-12-01, paywalled) reports that ORH-VONØ has been delayed to June 2028 and that the project budget has increased by 668m DKK. The delay confirms the projections agent independent Apr 2026 derivation of a 2028-06-30 completion date from Energinet LUP24.
