JDR, the global subsea cable supplier, owned by the TFKable Group, has been awarded a contract to supply, test, and terminate the 66 kV dynamic cables in consortium with SDI, part of the DEME Group for the Leucate floating wind farm. The consortium was awarded the contract by Réseau de Transport d’Électricité (RTE) and Eoliennes Flottantes du Golfe du Lion’s (EFGL), a consortium comprising Engie, EDP Renewables, and Caisse des Dépôts. Once completed, Leucate will be one of the largest offshore floating wind farms in France.
Located off the coast of the Leucate-Le Barcarès area, the demonstration floating wind farm will feature three V164-10.0 MW wind turbines, in water depths of 65 to 80 meters. JDR will design and manufacture the dynamic and static cables to connect the floating turbines to the shore, where they will connect to a grid at Saint-Laurent de la Salanque. SDI will undertake the overall delivery and installation of the cables provided by JDR.
The cables will be manufactured at JDR’s facility in Hartlepool, UK in 2022 before being shipped to France for installation in 2022.
