DEME Offshore secures BoP contract for 2.6 GW Coastal Virginia Offshore Wind (CVOW) project

DEME Offshore US LLC, a unit of DEME Group, has been awarded a US$1.1 billion Balance of Plant (BoP) contract for the construction of the Coastal Virginia Offshore Wind (CVOW) project in a consortium with Prysmian. The contract, with a total value of about US$1.9 billion, has been awarded by Dominion Energy Virginia, a subsidiary of Dominion Energy Inc.

The 2.6 GW CVOW project will be located at approximately 27 miles (43 km) off the coast of Virginia Beach, in Virginia, USA. The offshore wind farm will supply clean energy up to 660,000 households while reducing carbon emissions by over 2 million tons per year.

The BoP contract includes the transport and installation of 176 monopile transition piece foundations, three offshore substations, scour protection, and the supply and installation of the export and inter-array submarine cable systems. DEME Offshore will oversee the complete offshore installation works for the foundations, substations, infield cables, as well as part of the export cables. For the fulfillment of the project, DEME Offshore entered into a consortium with Prysmian, the world leader in underwater energy cable systems.
