estimated chance this project reaches commercial operation
Under Construction projects complete ≈97% of the time on Hafrok's record. A market with a thinner delivery record, technical complexity and no offtake contract yet pull this one slightly below that.

How Hafrok got this date
1
Starting point: the last dated milestone
Construction start in
2025. From there Hafrok adds how long similar projects (in developing offshore-wind markets) took to reach commercial operation, measured on projects that have delivered.2
Typical timing
Starting point plus the typical remaining time gives a middle estimate of
2027 Q3; the faster quarter of similar projects would be done by 2026 Q3, the slower quarter not until 2028 Q1.3
Result
Expected commercial operation
2028, likely range 2027–2028 (the middle half of outcomes for similar projects). The typical build time from the construction start is used.4
Year-by-year chart
The bars spread that estimate across years using how similar projects actually slipped against their dates — more often late than early, which is why the bars lean right.
5
Chance of delivery — separate from timing
Start from the share of Under Construction projects that went on to complete — ≈97%, measured on Hafrok's record of delivered and abandoned projects, with an allowance held back where that record cannot yet speak (projects still unresolved, changed market conditions). Based on the measured record — all 257 construction starts with a final outcome reached operation — adjusted down for projects still mid-build and for legal-challenge risk. Then adjust for this project's own evidence — offtake, market, size, technical complexity — to ≈96%, which rates it
