Skyborn Renewables (Skyborn) is proud to announce it has secured contractors for all major packages of the Gennaker offshore wind farm. The completion of PSAs signatures during the summer of 2025 is a major step towards the successful completion of Gennaker, planned for 2028.

We, and the project, can now rely on a pool of highly experienced contractors to deliver Gennaker on budget and on schedule. The signed preferred supplier agreements also demonstrate our commitment to Gennaker being rooted in the local community, delivering long-lasting value and benefits for Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. Offshore wind delivers positive impact on the ground, be that via investments, jobs or decarbonization!" says Patrick Lammers, Skyborn CEO.
"I would like to not only thank our suppliers, but also the Skyborn team, whose dedication and hard work has been key to bringing Gennaker one step closer to reality." Lammers adds.

Monopiles will be manufactured in Rostock – only 40 kilometres from the Gennaker site. The contract will further bolster the already strong local Mecklenburg-Vorpommern supply chain through a robust employment plan, securing jobs at EEW SPC which currently employs 1,000 people. A ceremony was held at the EEW Special Pipe Construction premises in Rostock to celebrate this major milestone for the project.
  • Transition piece: Preferred Supply Agreement has been signed with Dajin Heavy Industry for supply of 63 transition pieces.
