The Prysmian Group has won a contract worth approximately โ‚ฌ80 million to provide the submarine inter-array cable systems for the Saint-Brieuc offshore wind farm in France.

A press release said that Prysmian will provide some 90 km of three-core 66 kV HVAC XLPE-insulated inter-array cables. The cable cores will be manufactured at the Groupโ€™s sites in its French plants in Montereau-Fault-Yonne and Gron, and then be assembled and finished in its German plant in Nordenham, providing the French market with Prysmianโ€™s state-of-the-art cable systems manufactured locally. Delivery and commissioning are scheduled for the end of 2022.
