Italy’s Prysmian Group has secured an about €60m ($70.8m) cabling order by Orsted for two large German offshore wind extension projects that have a combined capacity of 1.1GW.

The company will provide inter-array cable systems for a total of more than 150km of 66kV XLPE–insulated cables that will connect the wind turbines of the Gode Wind 3 array to an offshore substation platform and of the Borkum Riffgrund 3 wind farm to an offshore converter station where the voltage will be increased and converted for onward transmission to the German mainland.
