Belgian marine contractor Jan De Nul and Greece’s Hellenic Cables, part of Cenergy Holdings, have won a contract from TenneT for turnkey delivery of three grid connection cables for offshore wind farms in Germany.
The cables will connect the wind farms set to be developed in so-called zones N-3.7 and N-3.8 to the DolWin Kappa converter station, from where the produced energy is transferred to shore.
Under the contract, Hellenic Cables will deliver the cables in the third quarter of 2025, after which Jan De Nul will take over the transportation, laying and protection works.
“The project has a large similarity with the export cable projects Trianel Windpark Borkum II and Borkum Riffgrund II that Jan De Nul and Hellenic have delivered to TenneT back in 2018,” said Wouter Vermeersch, manager of offshore cables unit at Jan De Nul.
The company recently executed an export cable installation scope for TenneT’s Hollandse Kust Noord and West Alpha projects.
