Prysmian has announced the completion of the Gruissan/Eolmed floating offshore wind farm project in France. Prysmian secured this project in 2021 with a contract signed with the French transmission system operator RTE (Réseau de Transport d'Électricité) for the engineering, procurement, construction, and installation of an export submarine power cable system.
Prysmian was responsible for the design, supply, installation, termination, testing, and commissioning of a 66 kV static three-core export submarine cable with EPR (ethylene propylene rubber) insulation for a total of 23 km, and a 66 kV dynamic submarine export tail with EPR insulation connecting the onshore grid to the floating electrical hub of Eolmed’s 30 MW offshore floating wind farm, which is currently under construction.
