Orsted has signed a supply contract for the inter-array cables for its next huge wind farm, Hornsea Three, having told how it is increasingly confident it will now proceed.
Hellenic Cables will supply the required 262km of connections between the individual turbines and the offshore converter station.
The decision comes after a Capital Markets Day presentation revealed a final investment decision is likely this year. Soaring inflation linked to the Russian invasion of Ukraine had led to talk of a stall, with the record low price set based on calculations made before costs escalated. Now the company has said it is increasingly confident it will be a position to sign it off.
