Spie Wind Connect has secured a contract with Van Oord for the termination and testing of inter-array cables at the Ecowende wind farm. The project includes terminating and testing 52 inter-array cables at 66kV on Hollandse Kust (west) lot VI in the Dutch North Sea, where the wind farm will be developed.
Work is set to begin in April 2026, with a project mock-up planned for the second quarter of 2025. The Ecowende wind farm, located about 53 kilometres off the Dutch coast near Ijmuiden, will have an operational capacity of 760 MW and is expected to be fully commissioned by the end of 2026.
