Vattenfall and CIP selected EEW SPC to manufacture 69 TP-less monopile foundations for the 1 GW first phase of the Zeevonk offshore wind project in the Dutch North Sea.
- TP-less design mounts towers directly onto monopiles, cutting steel and install time
- Fabrication at EEW Group's Rostock plant, Germany
- Phase 1 targets 1 GW by 2029; remains subject to FID
- One monopile to use lower-emission, high-recycled-content steel
Zeevonk is co-owned by Vattenfall and CIP's Energy Transition Fund I.
