The route will make landfall at Horseshoe Point from where land cables will feed the power to North Killingholme onshore substation."
Contract Details
Description
Nexans was awarded a contract worth over EUR 150 million to provide the near‑shore subsea export cable system for Ørsted’s Hornsea 2 project, forming part of the Hornsea 2 OFTO grid connection between the offshore reactive compensation substation and the onshore substation at North Killingholme. The scope covers design and manufacture of more than 200 km of 245 kV XLPE‑insulated three‑core HVAC submarine cables and associated accessories. These cables constitute three individual near‑shore export circuits that link the reactive power substation offshore to landfall at Horseshoe Point, from where onshore cables transmit power to the onshore substation. Cable manufacture is carried out at Nexans’ Halden facility in Norway.
