WIND Cable Services B.V. has won a long-term cable storage contract by EnBW for the Hohe See and Albatros offshore wind farms in Germany.
Under the agreement, the Netherlands-based company will provide storage of the spare inter-array cable for the two projects.
Boskalis is in charge of the supply, installation, burial, termination and testing of seventy-nine 33kV inter-array cables on the Hohe See wind farm. The company is also responsible for the inter-array works on Albatros, as well as for inter-connecting the two projects.
The 497MW EnBW Hohe See and the 112MW Albatros offshore wind farms will comprise a total of 87 Siemens Gamesa SWT-7.0-154 turbines.
EnBW Hohe See is located 95km north of Borkum and 100km northwest of Helgoland, while Albatros is being constructed in the immediate vicinity.
The two wind farms are expected to be put into operation by the end of the year.
