NKT

NKT in Germany was contracted to supply the inter-array (infield) submarine cables for the Eneco Luchterduinen offshore wind farm in the Dutch North Sea, located around 23 km off the coast between Noordwijk and Zandvoort. The inter-array cable scope supported the electrical collection system linking the 43 wind turbines and enabling power export via the offshore high-voltage station. In preparation for the mid-September 2014 offshore cabling campaign, the supplied inter-array cables were reported as already positioned at the dedicated inter-array cable installation vessel “HAM 602”. The overall cable installation works for the wind farm were expected to be completed by mid-October 2014, indicating that NKT’s supply package had been delivered in time to support offshore installation and subsequent commissioning activities. The public reporting associated this supply with project-wide cabling logistics during the construction phase and identified NKT specifically for inter-array cable supply (distinct from export/shore connection works). No contract value, cable voltage level, or total manufactured cable length for the inter-array system was stated in the cited source.
