Hellenic Cables, along with Asso.subsea, secured a contract from French transmission system operator Réseau de Transport d’Électricité (RTE) for the Dunkirk offshore wind farm.
Hellenic Cables is tasked with designing, manufacturing, and supplying 32 kilometers of submarine cables for the double submarine cable link, and 38 kilometers of underground cables for the double underground cable link.
The Greek company will also provide submarine and underground cable accessories, perform on-site jointing, testing, and termination works, and oversee the commissioning of the cable links.
Asso.subsea will handle transportation, laying, and protection of the submarine cable links.
The submarine cables will be produced at Hellenic Cables’ Corinth facility in Greece, while land cables will be manufactured at its factory in Thiva.
“We are proud to collaborate once again with Hellenic Cables and RTE on the Dunkerque Offshore Wind Farm, a landmark project that reinforces our shared commitment to advancing renewable energy infrastructure,” said Alexandros Tziotakis, Chief Operating Officer at Asso.subsea.
“Asso.subsea’s expertise in subsea cable installation and protection ensures the seamless integration of these critical components into the wind farm’s network. This project marks our return to France, following the successful completion of key projects such as Gruissan, Fécamp, Saint-Brieuc, and PGL.”
In June 2019, the French government selected the Éoliennes en Mer de Dunkerque (EMD) consortium, including EDF Renewables and Enbridge, to develop the Dunkirk offshore wind farm.
The project will be located at least 10 kilometers off the coast of Dunkirk and 11.4 kilometers from towns near the Belgian border.
With a capacity between 500 MW and 600 MW, the wind farm will feature up to 46 wind turbines on monopile foundations, and two 225 kV HVAC export cable links.
