Prysmian Group, world leader in the energy and telecom cable systems
industry, has been awarded by 50Hertz Offshore GmbH a subsidiary of
50Hertz Transmission GmbH, operator of transmission grids in Germany a new
contract worth approximately up to 730 million Euros (including options
for grid connections in value of approximately 250 M Euros) to design,
produce and install the power cable systems for the offshore wind park
cluster West of Adlergrund in the German Baltic Sea.
The West of
Adlergrund connection projects will involve the design, supply and
installation of multiple high voltage submarine cable systems between
planned Offshore Wind Parks, approximately 40 km north-east of the island
of Ruegen, to the Lubmin substation in North East Germany (and
consequently with the mainland electricity grid) along a route of
approximately 90 km (submarine) and 3 km (land).
The 220 kV HVAC
(High Voltage Alternate Current) 3-core extruded cables (including fibre
optic cable system) will be produced in the Group's centres of
technological and manufacturing excellence for submarine cables in Pikkala
(Finland) and Arco Felice (Naples, Italy). Marine cable laying will be
performed using the newly upgraded Cable Enterprise DP 2 ship specifically
geared to use her particular expertise in offshore wind farm connections
in the best way to serve the growing markets in Northern Europe and to
provide highly complex installation solutions. The production and
installation of the West of Adlergrund cable systems will start in 2015.
“This new project is the fourteenth secured by the Group and further
highlights not only the Group’s strategic role to support the realization
of important development plans in the field of renewable wind power, but
also the entire power transmission industry’s trust in Prysmian's
capability and expertise as a provider of submarine and land cable
systems.” states Marcello Del Brenna, CEO Prysmian Powerlink.
Prysmian has been investing in this growing sector – since its very
earliest stages - with the goal of continuing to anticipate the needs of
the fast-developing renewable energy market and particularly its demand
for submarine cables serving offshore wind farms. These new projects
confirm the Group's leadership and commitment in support of the renewable
energy industry. In Germany, in particular, the country with one of the
largest renewable energy development programme, the Group is already
involved in connections to shore for the BorWin2, Helwin1, HelWin2,
Sylwin1, DolWin3 and BorWin3 mega wind farm clusters in the North Sea.
