17 April 2008 – Nexans has been awarded a contract by StatoilHydro ASA, with an estimated value of €24m ($38m), to supply the submarine export cables for the Sheringham Shoal offshore wind farm project that is located approximately 20 km offshore from England's north Norfolk coast.
The contract scope includes engineering, procurement and construction of two 22 km 145 kV XLPE submarine export cables, and a spare cable with associated equipment. The power cables will be manufactured at Nexans' factory in Halden, Norway for delivery in mid April 2010.
The full execution of the cable contract is subject to offshore development consent from the UK government and a final investment decision during the 2nd half of 2008 for the offshore wind project.
If sanctioned, the Sheringham Shoal wind farm will be developed with 88 wind turbine generators, with a unit rating of 3.6 MW. The turbines will be connected via a network of infield cables to two offshore substations.
The total installed generation capacity will be 315 MW and on a yearly basis approximately 1.1 TWh of power will be exported to the mainland through the two submarine export cables, which will be connected to the regional distribution network at Salle substation.
