| Work Detail |
Nexans, a global organization and key driver for the worlds transition to a more connected and sustainable future, announces the successful installation and site acceptance testing of the export cable for Ørsted and Eversources South Fork Wind Farm in Long Island, NY. Nexans supplied and spliced the two export cable lengths running from the offshore substation to shore, performed the transition joint between the export and land cables, and installed the GIS terminations on the offshore substation. The cable was manufactured at Nexans facility in Charleston, South Carolina and the additional work was completed through a collaborative effort of local contractors, union workers and Nexans specialists.
The 110km 138 kV high voltage alternative current (HVAC) subsea export cable will soon transmit 132MW of electricity to Long Island, New York, energizing over 70,000 homes. The South Fork Wind Farm contract is the first to be completed within a framework agreement between Nexans and Ørsted Wind Power North America LLC. In line with the same framework agreement, Nexans is presently manufacturing the cable for Ørsted and Eversources Revolution Wind Farm in Rhode Island, with installation scheduled for 2024.
Pascal Radue, EVP of Nexans Generation & Transmission Business Group said: "The completion of the work at South Fork Wind Farm is a monumental step in the energy transition in the United States. New Yorks commitment to supply up to 9GW of offshore wind power to the state by 2030 is an incredible opportunity and we are looking forward to continuing work in the state and in the broader region." |
