NKT SR Energy Cable Project Boosts Swedenโs Renewable Growth
Theย NKT SR Energy cable projectย represents a key step in strengthening Swedenโs renewable energy capacity.ย NKTย will supply advanced power cables toย SR Energyย for a new wind farm featuring 15 modern turbines.
Kanonaden Entreprenad, the project developer, will install NKTโsย AXAL-TT PRO 3.0ย andย AXALJ-TT EQV 36 kVย cables. These high-performance products will ensure stable connections between the turbines and the national grid. The farm, located in a forested and hilly area currently used for commercial forestry, will help deliver clean power to homes and businesses across the region.
Reliable Power Connections Across Challenging Terrain
NKT will deliverย 40 kilometers of cableย from its factory inย Falun, Sweden. Theย AXAL-TT PRO 3.0ย connects each turbine to a nearby cable station. Meanwhile, theย AXALJ-TT EQV cableย links the substation directly to the larger power grid.
Wind turbine deliveries will begin inย May 2024, and installation is expected to continue through fall the same year. However, because the turbines stand overย 200 meters tall, weather conditions will determine when construction crews can complete the final phases of the project.
Advanced Cable Design Improves Installation and Durability
Mikael ร kerlund, NKTโs Key Account Manager, explained that theย AXAL-TT PRO 3.0ย includes a jacket up toย four times strongerย than standard cables. The innovative design features deformation zones that absorb pressure from rocks and uneven terrain.
As a result, the cable can be installed directly into existing ground material without requiring full trench preparation. This approach not only saves time but also reduces environmental impact, a crucial factor in sustainable energy development.
A Durable Partnership for a Sustainable Grid
Theย NKT SR Energy cable projectย highlights both companiesโ shared commitment to safe, resilient, and sustainable energy infrastructure. Furthermore, the collaboration supports Swedenโs broader goals of modernizing its electrical grid and reducing carbon emissions.
By combining durable cable technology with smart installation practices, NKT and SR Energy are paving the way for the continued growth of clean energy throughout Northern Europe.
