Successful supplier meeting in Haugesund

On Monday 23rd of May, Deep Wind Offshore & EDFR, Norwegian Offshore Wind and Næringsforeningen in Haugesund invited to a successful supplier meeting at Høvleriet. 

-It was a good start to the week, and nice to see that so many suppliers in our region are attending and so pationate about offshore wind. We have great faith in the our chances to win an area on the Utsira Nord project and believe that we can deliver a cost-effective project with a high degree of local content. It will be important for the region, and we already see now that the suppliers in the region are well equipped to execute their portion of a wind development project, says Project Director for Deep Wind Offshores Norwegian projects, Kjetil Jacobsen.
