DEME has secured a sizable contract to carry out the transport and installation works for the inter-array cables for the Nordseecluster B offshore wind farm in Germany. The Nordseecluster is a joint offshore wind project of RWE (51%) and Norges Bank Investment Management (49%).
The Nordseecluster, located approximately 50 km north of the island of Juist (Germany), combines wind farm sites in the eastern part of the German North Sea. With a total capacity of up to 1.6 GW, the Nordseecluster will generate enough green electricity to supply the equivalent of 1,600,000 homes. RWE is in charge of construction and operations throughout the lifecycle of the Nordseecluster offshore wind farms.
DEME will transport and install a total of 124 km of inter-array cables for the second project stage - Nordseecluster B - connecting all 60 foundations for the wind turbines to the offshore substation in the German North Sea. The extensive scope includes all the engineering, preparation and supporting activities, ensuring that DEME will deliver a complete solution.
