Copenhagen, 21 September 2026 - Cadeler A/S ("Cadeler"), through Nexra, its
dedicated offshore wind service platform, and Vattenfall Vindkraft AB have
entered into a memorandum of understanding (MoU) for a strategic collaboration
to explore the development of next-generation operations & maintenance (O&M)
solutions for the offshore wind industry.
The collaboration will focus on advancing innovative Major Component Exchange
(MCE) capabilities, combining operational expertise, service methodologies, and
long-term planning to explore more efficient and scalable approaches to offshore
wind maintenance and support the evolving needs of offshore wind asset owners
and operators.
As the global installed base of offshore wind turbines continues to grow and
mature, efficient maintenance strategies and access to specialised MCE
capabilities are becoming increasingly important to ensuring long-term asset
performance, reliability and availability.
Through the collaboration, Nexra and Vattenfall will explore concepts and
solutions designed to improve the efficiency, safety and scalability of offshore
wind maintenance activities across multiple turbine platforms, with the ambition
of supporting more predictable and effective maintenance of offshore wind
assets.
Jacob Christian Gregersen, Chief Growth Officer at Cadeler, commented:
"The offshore wind industry is entering a new phase, with a growing installed
base and increasingly complex maintenance needs. This collaboration gives us an
opportunity to combine complementary expertise and explore new approaches to
Main Component Exchange, helping shape more efficient and scalable O&M solutions
for the assets of tomorrow."
Pavlo Malyshenko, Head of Generation, Offshore Wind at Vattenfall, commented:
"The long-term competitiveness of offshore wind will depend not only on how we
build projects, but also on how effectively and efficiently we operate and
maintain them over decades. Every major component exchange comes with
significant cost, complexity and lost generation. Through this collaboration, we
want to explore smarter approaches that support safe and reliable operations,
improve long-term asset performance and reduce lifecycle costs, helping to keep
offshore wind an affordable source of fossil-free electricity."
