Boskalis, Orient Cable wins cabling contract for the 700 MW offshore Hollandse Kust wind project
Boskalis, in consortium with Orient Cables (NBO), has been awarded the Hollandse Kust West Beta export cable contract by TenneT. The contract scope comprises the installation of two 65-kilometer-long export cables that will connect the planned 700 MW offshore Hollandse Kust West Beta wind farm to TenneT’s onshore grid in the Netherlands. Furthermore, Boskalis will install a 9-kilometer-long 66kV interconnector cable between the Hollandse Kust West Alpha and Hollandse Kust West Beta offshore substations.
Boskalis will execute this contract in consortium with its partner Ningbo Orient Wires & Cables Co Ltd (Orient Cable), who will design and supply the high-voltage cable system. The two 220kV AC cable circuits will come ashore near the existing onshore high voltage substation at Wijk aan Zee, the Netherlands. Boskalis will deliver an integrated solution of in-house services including the removal of unexploded ordnance from the seabed, geotechnical and geophysical surveys, beach and seabed preparation works, and the laying and burial of the cables.
The Hollandse Kust West Beta offshore wind farm is expected to enter service in 2025.
