Prysmian Secures HelWin2 Project for the Grid Connection of Offshore Wind Farms in Germany
3 August 2011: Prysmian has been awarded a new major contract worth in excess of € 200 million by the Dutch-German grid operator TenneT for the connection project HelWin2, linking offshore wind farms in the North Sea to mainland Germany.
The company will provide complete supply, installation and commissioning of the submarine and land cable connections as part of a larger contract worth approximately € 600 M, awarded to the consortium of Prysmian. The turnkey connection will link the offshore wind park Amrum Bank West in the ‘HelWin’ Cluster zone located about 55 km offshore in the North Sea to the mainland with the purpose of transmitting power from renewable source into the German Grid.
The proposed project will use extruded HVDC cable technology from Prysmian with Siemens HVDC Plus® converter technology at the offshore platform and onshore stations.
