You can\u2019t have offshore wind power without export cables, and cable maker Nexans<\/a> just landed a \u20ac<\/em>1.7 billion contract to deliver 2,160 km (1,342 miles) of subsea and land cables.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The Paris-based company will be working with TenneT<\/a>, which is the transmission system operator for the Netherlands and a large part of Germany.\u00a0Nexans has already supplied 320 kV direct current (DC) cables for TenneT\u2019s DolWin 6<\/a> project, and it was awarded the BorWin 6 project in 2022.<\/p>\n

Nexans is going to manufacture and install high-voltage direct current (HVDC) cables to connect three grid connection projects \u2013 BalWin 3, LanWin 4, and LanWin 2 \u2013 to connect future offshore wind farms in the German North Sea that will provide a massive 6 gigawatts (GW) of energy. The subsea cable company says that major subcontracted works will be included once the project-specific call-offs are signed.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Last year, Nexans successfully developed and tested its first 525 kV DC cable that it says enables a \u201csubstantial increase\u201d in transmission capacity. The TenneT projects will be first in which the new, higher-capacity offshore cable technology will be deployed. Nexans is going to make them at its flagship factory in Halden, Norway.<\/p>\n

The whole project is expected to be fully operational by 2031.<\/p>\n

Referring to the energy crisis caused by Russia\u2019s invasion of Ukraine, Vincent Dessale, chief operating officer and senior executive vice president of Nexans, said of the agreement: <\/p>\n

\n

The uncertainty of the energy supply has again underlined the need to invest in offshore grids throughout Europe. This can only happen by creating strong and long-term partnerships between suppliers and transmission system operators \u2013 based on trust, transparency, and joint technological developments.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

In the US, Nexans is providing subsea cable for the Southfork Wind, Revolution Wind, and Empire Wind offshore projects.<\/p>\n
