After further detailed cable studies for the Sheringham Shoal export system, Scira Offshore Energy Limited determined that a larger conductor was required and exercised an option in its Nexans export cable contract to increase the cable cross‑section from a provisional 500mm² to 630mm². Nexans submitted variation orders for this change, which increased the export cable purchase price by approximately £1.4 million, reflecting a key late‑stage design and procurement adjustment for the transmission assets.
