What's Happening?
Belgian offshore contractor Jan De Nul has successfully completed the 2025 transport and installation campaign of three HVAC grid connection cables at TenneT’s DolWin kappa platform. These cables, once
operational, will facilitate the transport of nearly 660 MW of renewable electricity from two offshore wind farms. This amount of energy is sufficient to power over 800,000 German homes. Jan De Nul, in partnership with Hellenic Cables, was responsible for the design, production, transport, installation, and protection of the three 155 kV HVAC cables, which span a total length of 37 kilometers.
Why It's Important?
The completion of this project marks a significant step in the transition towards renewable energy sources in Europe. By enabling the transport of substantial amounts of renewable electricity, the project supports efforts to reduce reliance on fossil fuels and decrease carbon emissions. This development is crucial for meeting energy demands sustainably and aligns with broader environmental goals. The successful installation also highlights the capabilities of companies like Jan De Nul and Hellenic Cables in executing complex offshore projects, potentially influencing future investments and projects in the renewable energy sector.
