Seaway7 Contracts Hellenic Cables for East Anglia Three Inter-Array Cables

Supply Chain

Greece’s Hellenic Cables, the cable segment of Cenergy Holdings, has signed a contract with Seaway7 for the supply of inter-array cables for the East Anglia Three offshore wind farm in the UK.

Under the contract, Hellenic Cables will be responsible for the engineering, manufacturing, testing, and supply of approximately 275 kilometres of 66 kV three-core inter-array cables and the supply of the associated accessories.

The production of the inter-array cables, which is planned to commence next year, will take place at the company’s manufacturing facility in Corinth, Greece.

In June, Seaway7 signed a contract with the developer of the project, ScottishPower Renewables, for the transport and installation of foundations and inter-array cables.
