The project involves the design, supply and installation of turnkey High Voltage Alternating Current (HVAC) submarine power cable systems consisting of two 3-core 155 kV extruded cables with integrated fibre optic cable elements along a 31 km submarine route to enable the grid connection of the OWP Deutsche Bucht via converter platforms planned within the BorWin cluster. This includes a connection to be made from the OWP platform to the offshore HVDC converter platform, referred to as ‘BorWin beta’.
The Group had already secured the contract for the onward connection of the ‘BorWin beta platform to the German mainland grid in 2010 as part of the BorWin2 project.
