JDR OST 1 OFFSHORE WIND PROJECT JDR, the global subsea umbilical supplier and servicer, owned by TFKable Group, won a contract in June with Parkwind to supply, test and terminate 33kV subsea cables for the Arcadis Ost 1 offshore wind farm in Germany. The company will supply the 45km of
33kV array cable that will connect the 27 wind turbines. It will also provide technicians, tooling and test equipment for the testing and termination of the array cable. The project is located approximately 19km northeast of the island Rügen in the federal state of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania and will have a capacity of 257 MW. This wind farm will be Parkwind’s fifth, bringing its operational capacity under management to over 1 GW. “The German Baltic Sea is a central hub
for the offshore wind industry, and we can see it going from strength to strength. Just last year, German North Sea wind farms produced more electricity in one year than ever before. So, we’re not only delighted to be a part of this growth, but we’re also proud to mark our first contract with Parkwind, providing the technical expertise of our team to help deliver success for their first international offshore wind project,” says Wojtek Skoczylas, chief sales officer, JDR. By contracting JDR for both the cable
supply and the termination and testing works, Parkwind will benefit from continuity throughout the project, from manufacturing to installation, ensuring the integrity of the cables through to final commissioning and energisation.
“With JDR joining the Arcadis Ost 1
project, we have now surrounded ourselves with some of the world’s best subsea cable manufacturers to complete our wind farm. The technical strength of our suppliers has always been a strong focus to Parkwind but the particular conditions of the Baltic Sea require special attention to the design and manufacturing of the cables. Parkwind has full confidence that this will be successfully accomplished by JDR and we are delighted to have them onboard,” adds Luc Smismans, electrical package manager, Parkwind.
The cables will be manufactured at JDR’s facility in Hartlepool, where they
will be picked up by the cable installation contractor ready for installation in Germany in 2022. JDR will also supply, test and terminate
the 66kV dynamic cables in consortium with SDI, part of the DEME Group for the Leucate floating wind farm. The consortium was awarded the contract by Réseau de Transport d’Électricité (RTE) and Eoliennes Flottantes du Golfe du Lion’s (EFGL), a consortium comprising Engie, EDP Renewables, and Caisse des Dépôts. Once completed, Leucate will be one of the largest offshore floating wind farms in France. Located off the coast of the Leucate-Le Barcarès area, the demonstration floating
