UK, Darlington: Tekmar has won a contract award to supply its cable protection systems for the 242 MW Gode Wind 3 offshore wind farm in the German North Sea.
The contract is with cable manufacturer ZTT for the system for the high-voltage 16 km long submarine cable for the wind farm.
Installation is scheduled for 2023 and will connect the Gode Wind 3 offshore wind farm to TenneT’s extra high-voltage grid via the DolWin Kappa HVDC converter station, and the associated DolWin 6 grid connection in Germany.
Tekmar Energy’s cable protection system and bespoke bellmouths will be installed to protect the cable as it transitions from the seabed through the dynamic zone between the Gode Wind 3 offshore substation and the DolWin Kappa platform.
The products will be delivered in 2022 and 2023 from Tekmar Energy’s Newton Aycliffe manufacturing facility in the north east of England.
Tekmar Energy managing director Russell Edmondson said: “We are delighted to have once again been chosen by ZTT to protect critical subsea infrastructure in Europe”.
