Cable Supply Scope and Project Timeline
LS Cable will supply 350 km of onshore high-voltage cables, including 400 kV cables, by 2021. The Hornsea Project Two site sits 89 km off the Yorkshire coast in the United Kingdom.

Together with Hornsea Project One, the two sites will produce a combined 2.4 gigawatts of electricity. Therefore, the development will play a key role in expanding clean energy capacity in Europe.
Strategic Growth in Global Renewable Markets
