Description
NKT Cables was awarded the contract, in consortium with Dutch marine contractor VBMS, to deliver and install the export cable system for the Galloper Offshore Wind Farm, whose export assets now form the Galloper OFTO. The scope covered the manufacture and supply of 94 km of 132 kV high-voltage submarine export cables and their preparation for offshore installation. The work enabled two export circuits to transmit power from the offshore substation in the Outer Thames Estuary to the landfall near Sizewell and onwards to the onshore substation, forming the 353 MW OFTO connection. For NKT Cables, the contract was valued at DKK 400 million (about EUR 53 million), with deliveries staged for installation campaigns in late 2016 and 2017.
