Contract for Wind Turbine Generator Cables

23/07/2008

Subocean Limited has been awarded a fast track contract with EON UK on the Scottish Robin Rigg wind-farm development in the Solway Firth. The contract, which is believed to be worth approximately GBP7 million (USD13.96 million), is to install 64 power cables between the wind turbine generators and one export cable from the windfarm to the shore on the Robin Rigg Offshore wind farms, 13.5 kilometres off the coast of Cumbria and 9 kilometres off the coast of Dumfries and Galloway.

According to E.ON, the 180MW Robin Rigg wind farm has the potential to deliver clean green energy to 117,000 UK homes and displace the emission of over 200,000 tonnes of CO2 every year. The Robin Rigg site will be split into two areas with 30 wind turbine generators at each site.

Using its installation barge, the Subocean UR 101, Subocean Limited will lay and bury the so-called array cables for Robin Rigg under the seabed in water depths of up to 20 metres. The UR 101 is fully equipped with Subocean’s expertise and a fully certified cable lay spread including cable ploughing burial equipment.
