Prysmian will be responsible for the design, supply, installation and commissioning of two HV export power cable links, connecting three wind farms – Fecamp, Calvados and St Nazaire – to the French network.

These links will cover both submarine and land routes. Our submarine cables will be produced at the Group’s centres of excellence in Arco Felice (Italy) and Pikkala (Finland), and the land cables in Gron (France).

The submarine cable links will consist of HVAC (High Voltage Alternating Current) 220 kV three-core cables with XLPE insulation and single wire armouring. Delivery of the cables is expected between 2018 and 2020 (dependent on the schedules of the individual wind farms) with commissioning due to take place between 2019 and 2022.

Thanks to our dedicated marine fleet, we can offer our customers a wide and versatile range of installation services. For this project, we will be calling upon our state-of-the-art DP 2 cable-laying vessel, the Cable Enterprise.

We’ve played a key role in some of the world’s biggest and most significant offshore wind undertakings to-date. Delivering high-voltage submarine and land cables solutions for major projects such as: BorWin2 and BorWin3, Helwin2, SylWin1, DolWin 3 and the West of Adlergrund connection.
