Wind Energy – CVOW Project
JDR Cable Systems (JDR) has been awarded a contract by DEME Offshore to support Dominion Energy’s Coastal Virginia Offshore Wind (CVOW) project.
JDR’s comprehensive scope of work covers 176 wind turbines and three offshore substations.
It includes pull-in, termination, testing, and commissioning of all the 66kV subsea inter-array cables. The work will start in 2025 and continue into 2026, across three campaigns.
During installation, as part of the pull in scope, JDR teams will securely winch and pull the cables from the seabed to the turbines. Afterwards, they will fit electrical connectors and perform termination testing to ensure secure connections.
For testing and commissioning, high voltage tests and final inspections will be conducted to confirm the integrity of the cables, ensuring they are ready for reliable power transmission.
Philip Scheers, General Manager Subsea Power Cables from DEME Offshore commented “The Coastal Virginia Offshore Wind project is a critical milestone for DEME as it underscores our commitment to advancing the US’s renewable energy goals and offshore wind market. JDR’s proven global track record in delivering installation services make them the ideal partner for this project.”
