Wouter Vermeersch , Manager Offshore Cables at Jan De Nul Group, said: ”We are proud that Equinor and Polenergia have awarded us to install the export cables for these 2 important Polish projects and their recognition of the combined capabilities of Jan De Nul and Hellenic Cables. A further significant milestone in the construction of the energy transition for Poland and Europe.”
The companies will execute the connection of the two Baltyk wind farms to shore in 2026.
The design and manufacture of the HVAC cables will be performed at Hellenic Cables’ plant in Corinth, Greece, after which Jan De Nul will transport, install, and bury the cables.
