TKF Secures Zeevonk Offshore Wind Cable Contract for Dutch North Sea Project
TKF has secured a major Zeevonk offshore wind cable contract to supply approximately 162 km of 66-kV inter-array cables for Phase 1 of the Dutch North Sea project. This win strengthens TKF’s position in the offshore wind cable market and supports the Netherlands’ renewable energy expansion goals.
Contract Scope and Manufacturing Details
The contract covers design, engineering, manufacturing, testing, delivery, and project management for the full inter-array cable system and related accessories. TKF will manufacture the cables at its subsea cable facility in Eemshaven, ensuring efficient production and delivery.
Sustainable Design and Project Partners
The Zeevonk project is being developed by Vattenfall and Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners through its Energy Transition Fund. The partners are prioritizing sustainable cable design. Specifically, they will use low-emission materials, recycled components, and a bitumen-free concept to reduce environmental impact.
Offshore Wind and Hydrogen Integration
The Zeevonk project is located at the IJmuiden Ver Beta site in the Dutch North Sea. It will deliver a total of 2 GW of offshore wind capacity across two phases. Phase 1 will generate 1 GW by 2029. Then, Phase 2 will add another 1 GW, along with a 500-MW hydrogen electrolyzer connected to the Port of Rotterdam, supporting integrated energy transition solutions.
Eemshaven Investment and Market Growth
This contract follows TKF’s €150 million investment in its Eemshaven subsea cable plant, which focuses on inter-array cable production. In addition, TKF has secured offshore cable projects in Taiwan and Germany. As a result, the company continues to expand its presence in the global offshore wind sector.
Rising Demand for Offshore Cable Infrastructure
As offshore wind development accelerates worldwide, demand for inter-array cable systems continues to grow. The TKF Zeevonk offshore wind cable contract highlights the company’s expanding role in delivering large-scale renewable energy infrastructure and supporting the global shift toward clean energy solutions.
