Cable installation completed for 450 MW Offshore wind farm in Scotland
Prysmian has successfully concluded the installation of submarine and land power cables to connect the 450 MW Neart na Gaoithe offshore wind farm to the Scottish mainland power grid.
The offshore wind farm, located 15.5 km off the Fife coast in the east of Scotland, will produce up to 450 MW of green and renewable energy to supply clean and cost-competitive power to around 375,000 Scottish homes, helping towards Scotland’s targets to reduce its CO2 emissions.
Prysmian was responsible for the design, supply, and installation of two HVAC 220 kV three-core extruded export underwater cables with single-wire armoring that arrive at the East Lothian shore of Thorntonloch. Two 220 kV extruded land cable circuits connecting the Crystal Rig substation to the landfall area and two 400 kV extruded land cable circuits connecting the Crystal Rig substation to a Scottish Power substation were also supplied by the company.
The project is now in the testing and commissioning phase and the system is scheduled to go live during 2024.
