Prysmian Group has announced the commissioning of the inter-array cable system for the Fécamp offshore wind farm, located in the English Channel, some 24 km off the French coast, in Normandy (Seine Maritime department).
The Fécamp offshore wind farm is composed of 71 WTGs with a total capacity of nearly 500 MW. Prysmian was responsible for the design, manufacture, installation, burial, termination and testing of a total of 118 km of 33 kV submarine cables with 630mm2 cross-sections and both aluminium and copper cores to connect the 71 wind turbines with a capacity of 7 MW each to the offshore substation. Prysmian had secured this project in 2020 with a contract awarded by EDF Renewables and its partners.
