Description
Equinor awarded Subsea 7, via its Seaway 7 renewables business unit, the subsea cable installation contract for Hywind Tampen. The scope covers installation of 11 dynamic inter-array cables between the floating turbines and two static export cables from the wind farm to the Snorre A and Gullfaks A platforms, including pull-ins and electrical connections on the platforms. Subsea 7 installed the first subsea cables and completed the initial grid connection to Gullfaks A in July 2022, enabling first power from the project later that year. The work formed part of the NOK 3.3 billion package of key construction contracts signed with Equinor and partners in October 2019.
