Eiffage wins a second contract, as part of the NSORe joint venture, for an offshore converter station in Germany

Eiffage, through its Belgian subsidiary Smulders, as a member of the NSORe joint venture (Neptun Smulders Offshore Renewables) has been awarded by 50Hertz (the transmission system operator in the north and east of Germany) a second contract for an offshore converter platform.

NSORe is an equal joint venture between Smulders and Neptun Werft, part of the Meyer Werft, dedicated to HVDC (High Voltage Direct Current) offshore substation projects.

In June 2026, NSORe, as part of a consortium with Siemens Energy, had already been awarded by 50Hertz the contract to build a 2-gigawatt converter station for the LanWin6 offshore grid connection project. The new contract also involves the construction of a 2 GW converter platform destined to the LanWin3 project in the North Sea.

As with LanWin6, Siemens Energy will be responsible for supplying the high-voltage components for the newly awarded LanWin3 project. NSORe is responsible for the complete implementation and turnkey delivery of the facilities. This includes overall system design, component procurement, construction, installation onshore and offshore, as well as commissioning.

Key components such as the topside, the main building of the offshore platform, are to be constructed at the NSORe’s Rostock-Warnemünde shipyard. Smulders will manufacture the steel substructure (jacket) at its own shipyard in Vlissingen in The Netherlands.

These two contracts will enable the generation of significant volumes of offshore wind power from the North Sea for the German electricity grid. They also strengthen NSORe’s position as a key partner in offshore wind projects.
