Prysmian wins contract to supply 90 km of inter-array cables for offshore wind farm

Prysmian Saint-Brieuc Offshore Wind Contract Strengthens Energy Transition

Prysmian Group has secured an €80 million contract for the Prysmian Saint-Brieuc offshore wind project in France. The company will supply advanced submarine inter-array cable systems to support the development of the offshore wind farm.

Prysmian Saint-Brieuc Offshore Wind Cable System

Prysmian will deliver approximately 90 kilometers of three-core 66 kV HVAC XLPE-insulated cables. These high-performance systems will increase power transmission efficiency and support reliable offshore operations.

The 66 kV cable technology allows the project to transmit twice the power compared to traditional 33 kV systems, improving overall performance and scalability.

Manufacturing and Project Delivery

Prysmian will manufacture cable cores at its facilities in Montereau-Fault-Yonne and Gron, France. The company will then assemble and complete the cables at its plant in Nordenham, Germany. This approach supports local manufacturing while maintaining consistent quality standards.

Prysmian plans to complete delivery and commissioning by the end of 2022, ensuring the project stays on schedule.

Company leaders highlighted the importance of the award. Hakan Ozmen noted that the project reinforces Prysmian’s technological leadership and supports the energy transition in France. Olivier Angoulevant added that the contract strengthens Prysmian’s role as a one-stop solution provider across the offshore wind supply chain.
