The agreement complements Vårgrønn’s existing portfolio of projects currently under development and construction.

With Germany aiming to achieve 30GW of offshore wind capacity by 2030, the country is set to become one of the leading European nations in renewable energy adoption.

Vårgrønn CEO Stephen Bull stated: “Vårgrønn is pleased to enter Germany, one of the world’s largest offshore wind markets.

“This transaction provides Vårgrønn with a significant platform for further growth and important operational insight in a new market.”

In May 2023, Vårgrønn formed a partnership with European Energy to jointly develop offshore wind projects in the Baltic Sea, covering Lithuania, Estonia and Latvia.
