Located in the southern North Sea, near the maritime border with Denmark, Sørlige Nordsjø II is one of Norway’s flagship offshore wind areas. The development area spans approximately 520 square kilometres and is located 200 km from the from the Norwegian south-west coast.
“Sørlige Nordsjø II marks a historic step forward for Norway’s offshore wind ambitions, and we are proud to partner with DNV to ensure the project meets the highest standards from the outset” said Wim Verrept, Project Director at Ventyr. “Robust certification is essential to delivering safe and sustainable offshore wind infrastructure, and DNV’s experience and technical rigor make them a natural partner for this landmark development.”
In the North Sea Outlook Report, DNV predicts over 150 GW of offshore wind capacity in the North Sea by mid-century, positioning the region as the world’s most important offshore energy hub. Projects like Sørlige Nordsjø II demonstrate how industry collaboration, technical excellence, and robust certification processes are driving the next chapter of the energy transition.
“We are very pleased to deliver certification services for this project which represents a key milestone in Norway’s offshore renewables ambition” said Kim Sandgaard-Mørk, Executive Vice President for Renewables Certification at DNV. “DNV has been closely following the development of offshore wind in Norway and is actively supporting Norwegian authorities and regulators with technical insight and guidance based on decades of experience in certifying offshore wind projects globally.”
