Prysmian Group has been awarded a new contract by Cobra Wind International to provide the cable system to connect the Kincardine Floating Offshore Wind Farm to mainland UK.
This is the Group’s first cable project for a floating offshore wind farm which foresees the design and supply of two export cables as well as inter-array cables. The cable will also be provided with all associated cable accessories in order to connect the turbines of the Kincardine Floating Offshore Wind Farm, situated approximately 15 km southeast of Aberdeen, to the Scottish mainland power grid. Installation is planned during 2018 and 2019. The submarine cables will be produced at the Group plants in Vilanova, Spain, and Drammen, Norway.
