The turnkey connections will allow the generated renewable energy to transmit into the German grid. The manufacturing of submarine and land cables will be performed at Prysmian’s centres of technological and manufacturing excellence located in Pikkala, Finland and Gron, France.

Activities such as offshore installation will be carried out by the company’s Cable Enterprise cable-laying vessel for deepwater installation, and Ulisse vessel for shallow water activities.

The project is scheduled for completion by the middle of 2024.

ABB Power Grids received a contract from Aibel/Keppel FELS consortium to provide HVDC technology for the DolWin5 offshore wind connection project in May 2019.
