Description:

Kincardine Export is the developer‑owned HVAC export connection that carries electricity from the Kincardine floating offshore wind demonstrator (~50 MW) to shore near Aberdeen. The system comprises two 33 kV, three‑core subsea export cables (manufactured for the project by Prysmian) routed from the floating turbine array to an onshore landfall...
