Wind energy – subsea cables
Hellenic Cables strikes its first-ever major subsea cables deal with Vattenfall to supply 66 kV array cables for Vesterhav Nord and Syd offshore wind farms.
Alexis Alexiou, CEO of Hellenic Cables commented: “We are proud that Vattenfall has given us the opportunity to be part of its vision for a fossil free living within one generation. This assignment confirms once again that we are a leading European cable provider enabling the transition to a sustainable energy system in a reliable way”.
The Greek company will design, manufacture, test, and supply approximately 70 kilometers of 66kV XLPE insulated inter-array cables and associated accessories for the projects.
The cables will be manufactured at Hellenic Cables’ submarine cable production facility in Corinth, Greece.
Respectively located nine and eight kilometers offshore, Vesterhav Syd and Vesterhav Nord will comprise a total of 41 Siemens Gamesa 8.4 MW turbines with a combined capacity of 344.4 MW.
Commissioning is expected by the end of 2023.
