ROTTERDAM, the Netherlands – Ørsted and Van Oord have installed all 94 array cables connecting the turbines of the Borssele 1 & 2 offshore wind farm in the Dutch North Sea.
The installation started, ahead of schedule, in February 2020.
Van Oord’s cable-laying vessel Nexus installed the cables that Nexans fabricated.
Next month, the companies expect to finalize the cable burial campaign with Van Oord’s trencher Dig-It.
Borssele 1 & 2 is Ørsted’s first offshore wind farm in the Netherlands. It is 22 km (14 mi) off the coast of the Dutch province of Zeeland, in water depths ranging from 14 to 39.7 m (46 to 130 ft).
The 752-MW wind farm is expected to be completed this year.
