Twentsche Kabelfabriek BV (TKF) reports that it has signed a contract to supply Luxcara with the cable it needs for the Waterkant offshore wind farm in the German North Sea.

A press release from the Dutch company said that TKF will be responsible for the 66 kV inter-array aluminum core cables and accessories, totaling 130 km. The supply scope includes the engineering, manufacturing, testing, and delivery of the inter-array cables and corresponding accessories needed for Waterkant offshore installations and Amprion’s converter platform.

The subsea cables will be produced in TKF’s carbon-neutral factory in Eemshaven, the Netherlands. The Waterkant offshore wind farm will be built on site N-6.7, located in the German Economic Exclusive Zone (EEZ). The site is located next to a cluster of existing offshore wind farms approximately 90 km from the island of Borkum.

Luxcara, described as an independent German asset manager for clean energy infrastructure projects, has chosen 16 of the world’s most powerful offshore wind turbines. The maker, Ming Yang Smart Energy, notes that each turbine to be installed will have 18.5 MW capacity.
