“We are here to assist Norwegian companies succeed with their bids to participate in this first major offshore wind project on the Norwegian Continental Shelf,” says Kristian Johnsen. He is the Project Manager of Fremtidens Havvind – a regional collaboration project for offshore wind in Agder.
Awarded the contract to develop Sørlige Nordsjø II in 2024, Ventyr is now doing the necessary groundwork in preparation for building the wind farm.
“Our goal is to mobilize Norwegian companies, coordinate suppliers across the country, and make it easier for Ventyr to choose Norwegian partners for the large‑scale investments ahead,” says Johnsen.
A national supplier network pre-project is partly funded by Agder County and will be initiated in the first quarter of 2026. Pending development in the pre-project, a full-scale project could be established later in 2026.
“With SNII representing one of Norway’s largest industrial opportunities in decades, the project aims to ensure that Agder and Norway are ready to take a leading role,” says Johnsen.
