Italian cabling giant Prysmian Group has successfully completed the laying phase for Iberdrola’s 350MW Wikinger offshore wind farm in the German Baltic Sea, ahead of schedule.

Termination and testing works are currently in progress, said Prysmian.

The company won the €60m ($63m) contract to supply and install the inter-array cables with Spain’s Iberdrola in 2015. Under the deal, Prysmian is responsible for the design, manufacture, installation, burial, termination and testing of 80km of 33kV submarine cables with different cross-sections to connect the 70 Adwen wind turbines and the offshore substation that form the wind farm.
