Tekmar to supply cable protection system for 476-MW Baltic Eagle

Tekmar Group Plc (LON:TGP) today said it has been selected as the cable protection system (CPS) supplier for the 476-MW Baltic Eagle offshore wind project in the German Baltic Sea.

Dutch marine contractor Van Oord, which is responsible for inter-array cable supply and installation for the project, awarded the contract to Tekmar.

The UK company will engineer, manufacture, test and supply the technology for protection of subsea inter-array and inter-platform cables. The system and related accessories will be manufactured at Tekmar's facility in England and are expected to be delivered in late 2022.

Tekmar has previously worked with Van Oord on a number of offshore wind projects.

Baltic Eagle, developed by Spanish utility group Iberdrola SA (BME:IBE), will be located on a 40-square-kilometre (15.44 sq miles) area off the German island of Ruegen in the Baltic Sea. It will feature 50 units of the V174-9.5 MW turbines supplied by Vestas Wind Systems A/S (CPH:VWS).

The offshore wind farm is expected to be fully operational by the end of 2024.
