Nexans secures cable export for 860 MW Moray West wind project in Moray Firth
Nexans has won a contract for the supply of the onshore and offshore export cables for the 860 MW Moray West offshore wind farm in the outer Moray Firth, Scotland.
Subject to the award of a Contract for Difference in 2022 and Financial Close, the wind farm will feature Nexans High Voltage Alternating Current (HVAC) cabling.
The wind turbines will connect to two offshore substation platforms (OSPs). Nexans' 220 kV cabling will be installed and buried from each OSP along the full route to the project-specific onshore substation.
The project substation will be built at Whitehillock, near Keith in Moray. Buried 400 kV cables will connect the project substation to the National Grid electricity transmission system at Blackhillock, Keith.
The Moray West project is a 50-50 joint venture between EDP Renewables (EDPR) and ENGIE.
