Prysmian Group has been awarded a major contract for the design, supply, termination and testing of inter-array submarine cable systems.
The contract for the Gode Wind 3 and Borkum Riffgrund 3 offshore wind farms has been awarded by Ørsted and is worth more than €60m.
“We are proud to support Ørsted in these two important projects providing our state-of-the-art, high-performance 66 kV cable systems for inter-array networks,” said Hakan Ozmen, EVP Projects, Prysmian Group.
The Gode Wind 3 and Borkum Riffgrund 3 offshore wind farms will be located approximately 60km from each other in the German North Sea and will be built simultaneously.
Prysmian Group will provide inter-array cable systems for a total of more than 150km of 66 kV XLPE–insulated cables that will connect the wind turbines of Gode Wind 3 to an offshore substation platform and Borkum Riffgrund 3 to an Offshore Converter Station where the voltage will be increased and converted for onward transmission to the German mainland, with an overall combined capacity of more than 1,100MW.
The completion of both projects is expected by 2024.
Ørsted has already awarded Prysmian a contract for the Hornsea 2 project.
