Description
Prysmian was selected by DONG Energy to design, engineer and produce the main high-voltage export cable system for the Gunfleet Sands offshore wind project, which later formed the Gunfleet Sands OFTO transmission link. The contract covered the 132 kV offshore export submarine cable transmitting power from the offshore substation to shore and the associated high-voltage land cable system connecting the landfall to the onshore 132 kV grid connection. Prysmian’s scope included cable system design, manufacture of both the offshore and onshore export cables, and supply of accessories such as joints and terminations, along with related connection works. This work provided the single 9 km offshore and 4 km onshore 132 kV HVAC export connection that was subsequently transferred to TC Gunfleet Sands OFTO Ltd under the OFTO regime.
