Developer joint venture (JV) Orsted and Eversource have assigned Nexans to install the power export line for the US’ giant Revolution wind farm, the cabling contractor’s first job under a previously inked frame agreement with the JV in the emerging offshore play.

The export line, to be laid by Nexan’s recently launched Aurora vessel, will link the 704MW project to the Connecticut grid, supplying clean energy to an estimated 350,00 homes in the state as well as neighbouring Rhode Island.
