Seaway 7 has secured a contract to install the array cables at the 900MW He Dreiht offshore wind project in the German North Sea.
The scope of the engineering, procurement, construction and installation contract with EnBW includes the supply and installation of around 100 km of 66 kV subsea power cables and cable protection.
Seaway 7 will use vessels from its cable lay fleet which will commence work on the project in 2025.
The contract award is subject to He Dreiht reaching financial close by mid-2023.
This award is the second inner-array grid project awarded by EnBW to Seaway 7 after the Baltic 2 Offshore Wind Farm, which was completed in 2015.
He Dreiht will feature 15MW wind turbines.
The wind farm is located in the German Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) of the North Sea, approximately 85 km north of the Borkum island and 95 km to the west of the Helgoland island.
It was the first subsidy-free winner in the German auction.
EnBW He Dreiht project director Jorn Dainghaus said: “We are working intensively on the preparations for He Dreiht in the lead-up to our investment decision in 2023 and are excited to have Seaway 7 on board for this project as well.”
