Italy-based Next Geosolutions has signed an eight-year framework agreement with German operator 50Hertz to support the roll-out of offshore substations.
The deal will see NextGeo provide geotechnical seabed survey services in the North and Baltic Seas that will inform the location and placement of these substations, ensuring they are adequately arranged to connect offshore wind farms to the national grid.
A spokesperson said: “The framework agreement, with an expected value of several million euros per year and a duration of eight years, highlights NextGeo’s growing position as a key partner in the European offshore renewable energy markets, committed to advancing the energy transition.”
“As a recognised leader in the European energy sector, 50Hertz plays a central role in driving the shift towards renewable energy, ensuring the safe integration of offshore renewables into an expanding and more resilient grid.”
