Hellenic Cables to supply 66 kV inter-array cables and accessories for 1,075 MW Seagreen 1 offshore wind project

Hellenic Cables has been awarded a contract by Seaway 7, the Renewables business unit of Subsea 7, to supply 66kV inter-array cables and accessories for the Seagreen offshore wind farm in the UK.

The Seagreen offshore wind farm project is a 1,075 MW project which is located 27 km off the Angus Coast in the Firth of Forth, off the coast of Scotland and will be developed and operated by Seagreen Wind Energy Limited. Once constructed, the wind farm will be the largest in Scotland and is forecasted to provide low carbon energy for around one million homes.

SSE Renewables recently announced the final investment decision (FID) for Seagreen 1 offshore wind development, alongside an agreement to sell a 51% stake in Seagreen 1 to Total SA.

Under the contract, Hellenic Cables will design, manufacture, test, and supply approximately 320 km of 66 kV XLPE-insulated inter-array cables and associated accessories. The cables will be produced in Corinth, Greece. Delivery is planned by early 2022.

Seaway 7 was awarded by Seagreen Wind Energy Limited a contract for engineering, procurement, construction, and installation (EPCI) of the foundations and inter-array cables for the Seagreen 1 offshore wind farm.
