Using the cable-laying vessel Connector and the remote-controlled cable-laying vehicle UTV1200, contractor Jan de Nul Group + LS Cable & Systems has completed the installation of the first sea cable for 'west Alpha' for TenneT.Over sixty kilometres of cable have been laid in the seabed between Heemskerk Beach and the undercarriage (jacket) of the transformer platform at sea in recent weeks. This summer, TenneT will have the ready-made topside installed on the jacket for (West Alpha), so that the grid operator can bring renewable wind energy ashore via this 'socket' starting next year.
