Prysmian has completed the inter-array cable system for the Fécamp offshore wind farm located in the English Channel, a project the company secured back in 2020

Prysmian was awarded this contract by EDF Renewables and its partners.

The wind farm that is comprised of 71 Siemens Gamesa SWT-7.0-154 wind turbines with a total capacity of almost 500 MW has a total of 18 kilometers of 33 kV submarine cables installed by Prysmian.

Prysmian Group, Chief Operating Officer Projects BU Alberto Boffelli said, “This important project marks a further significant milestone for the Group, being one of the first large-scale offshore wind farms located in France, in which the Group has full EPCI responsibility for the inter-array supply and installation contract.”

Bofelli continued, ”As a one-stop-shop service provider, Prysmian was responsible for the design, manufacture, installation, burial, termination and testing of a total of 118 km of 33 kV submarine cables with 630mm2 cross-sections and both aluminium and copper cores to connect the 71 wind turbines with a capacity of 7 MW each to the offshore substation. Prysmian also offered its strategic expertise and extended ability to provide a complex and complete installation solution, whilst ensuring a tighter control over the entire supply chain.”
