Prysmian to Develop Submarine Power Cable Connections for Wind Farm in the Irish Sea
Prysmian, a worldwide leading Group in the sector of cables and systems for energy and telecommunications, has been awarded a major project by Ormonde Energy Ltd (a Vattenfall AB owned company) for the development of submarine power cable connections for the new Ormonde Wind Farm project.
The contract amounts to €27 million with the delivery of cables expected during 2010. The Ormonde Wind Farm is located approximately 10 km West of Walney Island, Barrow-in-Furness, in the Irish Sea, and it is rated at 150 MW. In particular, Prysmian is involved in the design and supply of 33-kV inter-array cable to connect the 30 turbines making up the wind farm and the 132-kV export cable to connect the project to the mainland grid. The cables will be manufactured at the Prysmian submarine cables factory based in Arco Felice, Italy.Want to use this article? Click here for options!
