Cadeler (NYSE:CDLR) announced the successful installation of the first fully commissioned monopile foundation at \u00d8rsted\u2019s Hornsea 3 offshore wind farm. <\/p>\n
The achievement marks the beginning of a multi-year execution phase for the project, which is set to become the world’s largest offshore wind development upon completion.<\/p>\n
Cadeler confirmed Thursday that its purpose-built A-class vessel, Wind Ally, successfully placed the first of 197 planned monopile foundations in the UK North Sea. <\/p>\n
The operation represents a significant expansion for the company, as it marks the first time Cadeler has managed the full transportation and installation (T&I) scope for offshore foundations, a strategic move intended to capture more of the offshore wind value chain.<\/p>\n
The Hornsea 3 project is a massive undertaking with a total capacity of 2.9 GW, enough to power approximately 3.3 million UK homes. <\/p>\n
Cadeler\u2019s role involves a complex, coordinated fleet operation: the Wind Ally handles the XXL monopiles, while the Wind Orca installs secondary steel components. <\/p>\n
The service operation vessel ESVAGT FROUDE and specialists from Boston Energy provide the final commissioning and completion scope.<\/p>\n
Financially, the Hornsea 3 contracts are among the largest in Cadeler’s history. <\/p>\n
The combined T&I and turbine installation agreements are valued between \u20ac500 million and \u20ac700 million. <\/p>\n
This milestone follows a strong 2025 fiscal year for Cadeler, which saw the company double its fleet capacity and build a contract backlog that reached \u20ac2.8 billion as of March 2026.<\/p>\n
The news follows a busy week for the project; on May 12, Abu Dhabi sovereign investor Mubadala announced a $325 million investment in Hornsea 3, joining a consortium led by Apollo Funds. <\/p>\n
\u00d8rsted retains a 50% stake in the project and continues to lead its development and construction.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Cadeler (NYSE:CDLR) announced the successful installation of the first fully commissioned monopile foundation at \u00d8rsted\u2019s Hornsea 3 offshore…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":82495,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[285],"tags":[2607,43946,43948,383,43209,43947,380,287,928,38722],"class_list":{"0":"post-82494","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-orsted","8":"tag-cadeler","9":"tag-cdlr","10":"tag-green-energy-infrastructure","11":"tag-hornsea-3","12":"tag-monopile-installation","13":"tag-north-sea-wind","14":"tag-offshore-wind","15":"tag-orsted","16":"tag-renewable-energy","17":"tag-wind-ally"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@dk\/116573425226695218","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/82494","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=82494"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/82494\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/82495"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=82494"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=82494"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=82494"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
