Ventyr, a consortium consisting of Parkwind and Ingka Investments, has awarded Worley Rosenberg a preferred contractor agreement for the development of the offshore substation on the Sørlige Nordsjø II offshore wind development in Norway.

The agreement between the two parties also includes an early works agreement for design engineering.

Sørlige Nordsjø II is Norway’s first significant offshore wind development. When the project is complete in 2031, it will supply renewable power for approximately 500,000 households on an annual basis.

This is the first engineering, procurement, construction, and installation (EPCI) offshore substation project for Worley Rosenberg and builds on the company’s experience in offshore substation design.

The design and engineering work will start in June this year and continue with an expected continuous roll over to the EPCI phase in December 2025, in line with the preferred contractor agreement. The project will be executed from Norway, supported by the global Worley organisation.
