Sep 7, 2009
Nexans has won a contract to supply sub-sea power export cables for phase I of the Belgian Belwind Offshore Windfarm project, located on the Bligh Bank, off the coast of Zeebrugge.
On project completion, Nexans' cable technology will transmit environmentally-friendly power to 165,000 households in Belgium.
Nexans will supply and install 52km of 170kV high-voltage power-export cable with an optical-fibre insert to the Dutch EPC contractor, Van Oord Dredging and Marine Contractors.
The cable will connect the windfarm, comprising 55 wind turbines that will generate a total of 165MW, to the Belgian power network.
The cable will be laid by Nexans' cablelaying-vessel C/S Nexans Skagerrak and buried into the seabed using Nexans' Capjet trenching system.
Delivery is scheduled for the summer of 2010, with the windfarm coming on stream in 2011.
