Nexans’ HV Cables to Connect ScottishPower’s Offshore Wind Farm Subscribe @ www.wiretech.com/overview.asp

ScottishPower Renewables has chosen Paris, France-based Nexans’ submarine cables to carry energy onshore
from its new 714 MW East Anglia ONE offshore wind farm. Nexans has been chosen to supply and install two 85 km,
3-core, submarine cables with embedded fiber optics. Additionally, Nexans will supply the accompanying accessories

for the wind farm, which is located in the North Sea. The 714 MW East Anglia ONE offshore wind farm
contract is worth more than €180 million. The new wind farm, due to be finished in 2020, will be made
of up 102 wind turbines with a capacity to power around 500,000 homes. The entire wind farm project is worth nearly
€3 billion. The East Anglia ONE wind farm will stimulate the East Anglia region and support thousands of skilled jobs.
Nexans will type test, manufacture and then install the high-voltage cables and accessories at the 300 km2 site.
The turnkey contract includes a pre-installation survey and cable protection by burying. Delivery of the cables will
begin in Summer 2018.
DeepOcean has been subcontracted by Nexans to perform the transport and installation scope, which will com-
prise all marine installation activities including crossings and cable protection. www.nexans.com
