| Work Detail |
JDRs work will commence in 2025 and continue into 2026, spanning three campaigns.
JDR Cable Systems, part of the TFKable Group, has secured a significant contract from DEME Offshore for the Coastal Virginia Offshore Wind (CVOW) project in the US.
JDR will handle the installation and testing of 66kV subsea inter-array cables for 176 wind turbines and three offshore substations.
The project, with a capacity of 2.6GW, is the largest US offshore wind farm.
The CVOW project will power 660,000 homes, contributing to the country’s renewable energy goal of deploying 30GW of offshore wind energy by 2030.
JDR senior sales manager Michael Wells stated: “We are pleased to deepen our ongoing relationship with DEME and our presence in the US market through the CVOW project.
“We see significant opportunities for offshore wind in the US. Building on JDR’s involvement in current US offshore wind projects, this contract positions us strongly to continue playing a key role in the expansion of the North American renewables market.”
JDR’s work will commence in 2025 and continue into 2026, spanning three campaigns with a scope that includes pulling, terminating, testing and commissioning the cables.
During installation, JDR teams will securely winch and pull the cables from the seabed to the turbines, fit electrical connectors and perform termination testing.
High voltage tests and final inspections will ensure their integrity for reliable power transmission.
DEME Offshore general manager subsea power cables Philip Scheers stated: “The Coastal Virginia Offshore Wind project is a critical milestone for DEME as it underscores our commitment to advancing the US’s renewable energy goals and offshore wind market.
“JDR’s proven global track record in delivering installation services makes them the ideal partner for this project.”
The partnership bolsters the local economy and supports the development of the offshore wind sector in Virginia. It is expected to significantly impact the Commonwealth of Virginia’s economy by supporting local supply chain and workforce development. |
