Hellenic Cables to supply some 205 km of inter-array cables for offshore wind farms

Hellenic Cables, the cables segment of Cenergy Holdings that is based in Greece, has signed a contract to supply some 205 km of inter-array cables for the Bałtyk II and Bałtyk III offshore wind farms in Poland.

A press release said that the joint venture of Equinor and Polenergia has been developing the MWF Bałtyk II & III offshore wind farm projects in Poland. Hellenic Cables was appointed by Seaway7 as the key subcontractor for the design, manufacturing, testing and supply of up to approximately 205 km of 66 kV submarine inter-array cables and related accessories for these projects.

The Bałtyk II and III wind farms extend into 122 sq km and 117 sq km areas, respectively, strategically positioned in the southwestern Baltic Sea within Polish waters at depths from 20 to 45 m. Hellenic Cables will manufacture the submarine cables at its Corinth plant, with the schedule calling for delivery completed by the first half of 2026.

“We are delighted to be working with Hellenic Cables once again, following our successful collaboration on previous offshore wind projects,” said Seaway7 Project Manager Tom Rijnders.

Hellenic Cables notes that, through its fully owned subsidiary, Fulgor, the company’s Corinth plant can produce some of the world’s longest submarine cable lengths without factory joints.
