Nexans, worldwide expert in the cable industry, has been awarded a contract by DONG Energy, based in Fredericia, Denmark, to supply the submarine cables and related accessories for the Anholt Offshore Wind Farm. The order, worth around 30 million euros, also includes the installation and commissioning of the cables.

Roughly 160 km of medium voltage 34 kV cables are required to connect the 111 wind turbines with each other and to link them to the offshore transformer station. The cables are manufactured in three different cross sections to meet the different transmission requirements. The cables will be produced at the Nexans plant based in Hanover in Germany and delivery is scheduled for the second quarter of 2012.
