Over 200 miles\/300km of 66KV cables manufactured by Hellenic Cables under a contract with DEME Offshore<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

More than 200 miles (328 km) of 66KV inter-array cables have been successfully installed by delivery partners working on the construction of the world\u2019s largest offshore wind farm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The cables were laid by DEME Offshore\u2019s Viking Neptun, with burial works being completed by DEME Offshore\u2019s Living Stone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This work marks the completion of all inter-array cables on the first phase of the wind farm, Dogger Bank A, which began generating power in October 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The network of 95 cables in a multitude of lengths up to 8.6 miles, will connect Dogger Bank A\u2019s 95 Haliade-X 13MW turbines to the Dogger Bank A offshore convertor station. From here the electricity is converted into direct current for transmission to Dogger Bank A\u2019s onshore convertor station via a pioneering HVDC system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This challenging engineering process follows on from an intensive preparation period involving underwater surveys, to ensure the cable laying corridor is clear of obstacles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 66KV inter-array cables were manufactured by Hellenic Cables under a contract with Dogger Bank tier one contractor DEME Offshore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hellenic Cables and Deme Offshore are also responsible for the manufacture and installation of inter-array cables for Dogger Bank B and C. The first inter-array cable for Dogger Bank B is expected to be installed from autumn 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alan Evans, Dogger Bank Wind Farm Marine Package Manager, said:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis is another important part of our Dogger Bank A marine work complete, and is the result of a great collaboration between all parties involved.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWith 277 cables to be installed in total, it\u2019s by far the biggest inter-array cable installation programme undertaken to date in offshore wind.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe safe and smooth completion of this phase is a huge credit to the entire team.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Geert Linthout, Project Director \u2013 DEME offshore, said:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe teams at Dogger Bank and DEME Offshore have collaborated closely to achieve this significant project milestone.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThroughout the execution, DEME Offshore has successfully deployed both the Living Stone and the newly added cable installation vessel Viking Neptun, demonstrating outstanding performance.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis has provided a solid and reliable basis for the upcoming Dogger Bank B phase and, subsequently, the Dogger Bank C phase. We are excited to continue our strong working relationship on Dogger Bank B and Dogger Bank C.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
