Wind Energy – Termination and Testing
SPIE Global Services Energy has secured a contract with Van Oord for the termination and testing of inter-array cables on the Ecowende wind farm.
The project scope involves the termination and testing of 52, 66kV inter-array cables on the Hollandse Kust (west) lot VI in the Dutch North Sea, where the Ecowende wind farm will be constructed.
As Ecowende’s official marine contractor, Van Oord is responsible for transporting and installing various components of the wind farm: from the foundations and scour protection to the inter-array cables and turbines.
The works are due to commence in April 2026, with the project mock-up scheduled for the second quarter of 2025.
