Cadeler has successfully installed the first of 100 turbines at RWE’s 1.4GW Sofia wind farm off east England.
Jack-up Wind Peak arrived at the site on 22 March after being loaded out with the first batch of six Siemens Gamesa 14MW machines at the turbine manufacturer’s blade factory in Hull.

First power from the array is due to be achieved later this year before commissioning in 2026.
RWE Offshore Wind COO Thomas Michel said: “This is yet another great construction milestone for Sofia, one of RWE’s flagship offshore wind farms in the UK.
“We’re looking forward to Sofia making a significant contribution to the UK’s Clear Power 2030 targets after commissioning, which is expected in 2026.”
