Prysmian has received a contract from 50Hertz Offshore, a unit of 50Hertz Transmission, to design power cable systems for the offshore wind park cluster West of Adlergrund in the German Baltic Sea.
Under the €730m contract, Prysmian will design, produce and install the multiple high voltage submarine cable systems between planned offshore wind parks, approximately 40 km north-east of the island of Ruegen, to the Lubmin substation in North East Germany (and consequently with the mainland electricity grid) along a route of approximately 90km (submarine) and 3km (land).

Prysmian Powerlink CEO Marcello Del Brenna said, “This new project is the fourteenth secured by the Group and further highlights not only the Group’s strategic role to support the realization of important development plans in the field of renewable wind power, but also the entire power transmission industry’s trust in Prysmian’s capability and expertise as a provider of submarine and land cable systems.”
Prysmian will manufacture the 220kV high voltage alternate current (HVAC) 3-core extruded cables, including fibre optic cable system, at its centres of technological and manufacturing excellence for submarine cables in Pikkala (Finland) and Arco Felice (Naples, Italy).
The West of Adlergrund cable systems production and installation is scheduled to commence in 2015.
