NKT secures cable contract for 1.2 GW Offshore wind farm in UK
NKT had entered into a Preferred Supplier Agreement (PSA) as main contractor for delivery and installation of high-voltage DC on- and offshore export cable systems to the third phase of the world’s largest offshore wind farm, Dogger Bank C. NKT has secured the contract award with the project owners Equinor (50%) and SSE Renewables (50%).
NKT has added the project to its high-voltage order backlog with a contract value of approx. EUR 280 million (USD332.16 million) in market prices, equivalent to approx. EUR 230 million (272.85 million) in standard metal prices.
NKT President and CEO Alexander Kara said: "The order for Dogger Bank C completes our involvement in the overall Dogger Bank wind farm project, as we were also awarded the export power cable systems for the Dogger Bank A and B phases in 2019. When fully commissioned the Dogger Bank offshore wind farm will be the world’s largest and the first high-voltage DC connected wind farm in the UK".
The order for NKT comprises the manufacture and delivery of more than 2x250 km total system length of 320 kV DC offshore export power cables, accessories as well as installation by the cable-laying vessel NKT Victoria. Manufacturing is expected from 2022 and with planned commissioning in 2026.
The export power cable systems for the full Dogger Bank wind farm with an installed capacity of more than 3.6GW are all being manufactured at the NKT plant in Karlskrona.
