A second major cable supply deal has been signed by Orsted for Hornsea Three offshore wind farm.
Prysmian Group will be responsible for the design, manufacture, supply, termination of testing of the inter-array submarine cable system, connecting the turbines to the offshore converter station. It represents half the requirement of the wind farm, with a contract having been signed with Hellenic for an initial 50 per cent last month.
All the submarine cable cores will be produced at the Italian-headquartered company's centres of excellence located in Montereau and Gron, France, while the armouring and assembling processes will be performed at a plant in Nordenham, Germany. The cables are due to be delivered in 2026.
