JDR wins contract to supply cables for 1,386 MW Hornsea Project Two offshore wind project
UK-based JDR Cable Systems (JDR), owned by the TFKable Group, has won a multi-million pound contract to supply inter-array cables and termination work for Ørsted’s record-breaking offshore wind farm, Hornsea Project Two.
When operational in 2022, the wind farm will supply clean electricity to over 1.3 million homes, and surpass its sister project Hornsea One, as the world’s largest offshore wind farm.
The contract includes 100km of inter-array cables, all to be assembled in JDR’s Hartlepool facility, located in the north-west of England. Inter-array cables link turbines together, and carry the clean electricity generated by the turbines to an offshore substation, which converts it to a higher voltage for transmission to shore.
The project is Ørsted’s first in the UK to use 66kV for its array cables, having used 33kV for previous projects. Using cables with a higher voltage helps to reduce electrical losses during transmission.
