Cadeler Completes He Dreiht Wind Farm Turbine Installations Ahead of…

Event summary

Cadeler finished installing the final turbine at the 960 MW He Dreiht Offshore Wind Farm in Germany's North Sea.
The project involved 64 Vestas V236-15.0 MW turbines, marking their first commercial-scale installation.
Wind Keeper, recently acquired and upgraded by Cadeler, completed its debut offshore wind installation campaign.
The project was executed using two of Cadeler's vessels: Wind Orca (started April 2025) and Wind Keeper (took over in Q1 2026).
He Dreiht will power approximately 1.1 million households once operational.

The big picture

This project represents a critical milestone in the scaling of offshore wind capacity in Europe, particularly as Germany accelerates its energy transition away from fossil fuels. The successful deployment of Vestas' largest turbines to date signals growing confidence in next-generation wind technology, while Cadeler's ability to manage complex installations positions it as a key player in the offshore wind value chain.
