PETROFAC AND HITACHI ENERGY ANNOUNCE 
SECOND PROJECT IN SUPPORT OF TENNET'S 2GW PROGRAMME 
     -- Second contract award under the six-project, USUSD14 billion, multi-year Framework Agreement with TenneT 
 
     -- Petrofac's portion of the second contract valued at around USUSD1.4 billion 
     -- Award coincides with confirmation that Petrofac has secured the performance guarantee required for the 
    first contract awarded by TenneT in March 2023 
     -- Second contract contains similar industry standard requirement for Petrofac to provide a performance 
    guarantee 
     -- Additional contracts within TenneT's 2GW Framework Agreement expected at approximately six-month 
    intervals 
Petrofac, a leading provider of services to the global energy industry, and Hitachi Energy, a global technology leader 
that is advancing a sustainable future for all, announce today the award of the second project under the USUSD14 billion, 
multi-year Framework Agreement with TenneT - the Dutch-German Transmission System Operator - to expand offshore wind 
capacity in the North Sea. 
The project is to be executed under a standalone contract, with Petrofac's portion valued at around USUSD1.4 billion. 
The companies will work together to deliver Nederwiek 1, a Dutch transmission station which forms part of TenneT's 
landmark 2 Gigawatt (2GW) Programme, comprising several high-voltage direct current (HVDC) offshore grid connection 
systems, each with a transmission capacity of 2 gigawatts. 
In an initial announcement earlier this year, Petrofac and Hitachi Energy reported the award of the six-project 
Framework Agreement. Under this landmark agreement, Petrofac will undertake the engineering, procurement, construction, 
and installation (EPCI) of offshore platforms and elements of the onshore converter stations while Hitachi Energy will 
supply its HVDC converter stations, which convert AC to DC power offshore and DC to AC onshore. 
Since the initial announcement, Petrofac's and Hitachi Energy's teams have collaborated closely on the preparatory 
works, reserving production capacity for multiple platforms and HVDC technology, and initiating the detailed design 
process for the first platform, the Ijmuiden Ver Alpha. 
Further to the Group's market update on 4 December, today's announcement coincides with confirmation that Petrofac has 
secured the performance guarantee required for the Ijmuiden Ver Alpha contract. The Group remains in active discussion 
with credit providers and its clients to secure the guarantees required for other new contracts in its portfolio. 
Additional projects within the TenneT's 2GW Programme are expected to be awarded at approximately six-month intervals. 
These are the grid connections landing at Geertruidenberg or Moerdijk (Nederwiek 3) and Eemshaven (Doordewind 1 and 
Doordewind 2). The sixth project, the German connection LanWin5, will be connected near Rastede, Germany. 
Commenting on the award, John Pearson, Chief Operating Officer, Energy Transition Projects, Petrofac, said: "We have 
been collaborating with our partner Hitachi Energy, and client TenneT, on the first project, Ijmuiden Ver Alpha. The 
award of Nederwiek 1 continues our focus on the standardisation and harmonisation of design and execution that will be 
central to the 'design one, build many' philosophy of the 2GW Programme. By aligning ourselves with TenneT's 
objectives, we are creating a blueprint for the rapid deployment of large-scale infrastructure projects crucial to 
Europe's energy transition". 
Niklas Persson, Managing Director of Hitachi Energy's Grid Integration business, said: "As a pioneering technology and 
market leader, we are delighted to collaborate to deliver our HVDC solution for Nederwiek 1, combining world-class 
energy and digital systems. Our strong collaboration with Petrofac, based on an agile business model, scalable 
solutions and synergies among projects, allows us to join forces and support TenneT in its ambition to accelerate 
offshore wind deployment in the North Sea, granting European citizens more sustainable and reliable power." 
TenneT's 2GW Programme is a crucial step in Europe's transition to a lower-carbon future. Germany, The Netherlands, 
Denmark, and Belgium have agreed to install at least 65 gigawatts (GW) of offshore wind energy together by 2030. 
Two-thirds of this (40GW) will be accounted for by TenneT, with 20GW each in the German and Dutch North Seas. TenneT's 
innovative 2GW Programme will be vital to reaching these targets and will provide a blueprint for the delivery of 
future offshore grid connection systems. TenneT's strategy focuses on standardisation and fostering new contracting 
models within the supply chain to enable the creation of innovative and scalable solutions that can be quickly and 
cost-effectively deployed.
