Wind Energy – Cable Installation
DEME has secured a sizable contract to carry out the transport and installation works for the inter-array cables for the Nordseecluster B offshore wind farm in Germany.
The Nordseecluster, located approximately 50 km north of the island of Juist (Germany), combines wind farm sites in the eastern part of the German North Sea. With a total capacity of up to 1.6 GW, the Nordseecluster will generate enough green electricity to supply the equivalent of 1,600,000 homes.
RWE is in charge of construction and operations throughout the lifecycle of the Nordseecluster offshore wind farms.
DEME will transport and install a total of 124 km of inter-array cables for the second project stage – Nordseecluster B – connecting all 60 foundations for the wind turbines to the offshore substation in the German North Sea. The extensive scope includes all the engineering, preparation and supporting activities, ensuring that DEME will deliver a complete solution.
“This new project further reinforces our cooperation with RWE and DEME’s leadership in the European subsea power cable market. With our modern and versatile offshore fleet and specialized equipment, we are ideally positioned to deliver this interesting scope successfully. The project will also benefit from DEME’s extensive experience in cable installation and burial,” says Philip Scheers, General Manager Subsea Power Cables – Offshore Energy.
Scheduled to start towards the end of 2027, DEME will deploy its offshore and cable installation vessel Living Stone, as well as additional supporting equipment.
