Réseau de Transport d’ Électricité (RTE) has awarded a turnkey contract to Hellenic Cables, the cables segment of Cenergy Holdings, in consortium with Asso.subsea for the 600 MW Dunkerque Offshore Wind Farm. 

The Dunkerque Offshore Wind Farm, with a planned capacity between 500 and 600 MW, will feature two 225 kV HVAC export cable links which will enable the seamless transfer of clean energy to the French grid. Hellenic Cables will design, manufacture and supply 32 km of submarine cables for the double submarine cable link, as well as 38 km of underground cables for the tri-phased double underground cable link, supply submarine and underground cable accessories, perform on-site jointing, testing and termination works and be responsible for the commissioning of the cable links. The installation partner Asso.subsea will be responsible for the transportation, laying and protection of the submarine cables links.  

The submarine cables will be manufactured at Hellenic Cables’ facility in Corinth, Greece, while the land cables will be manufactured at Hellenic Cable’s onshore cable manufacturing facility in Thiva, Greece, also currently undergoing a capacity expansion programme.
