CRP Subsea has secured a contract to supply cable protection systems for RWE’s 660MW Nordseecluster A offshore wind project, in the German North Sea.
The deal is with ocean services supplier DeepOcean and involves the supply of 96 NjordGuard cable protection systems (CPS) to protect the inter array wires from over-bending, abrasion and fatigue during installation and their subsequent service life.
The NjordGuard CPS will be engineered to meet the specific installation requirements for both monopile and J-tube interfaces.
The Nordseecluster offshore wind project will be constructed in two phases.
Nordseecluster A is scheduled to begin construction at sea next year, with all turbines expected to be grid-connected by early 2027.
The second phase, Nordseecluster B, will add 900MW, with commercial operation anticipated in early 2029.
Head of sales at CRP Subsea Andy Smith said: “We are honoured by DeepOcean’s decision to select CRP Subsea for this project.
“This contract reinforces our commitment to advancing the renewable energy sector and highlights our role in supporting the development of sustainable energy infrastructure.
“It also strengthens our ongoing partnership with DeepOcean and complements our involvement in other key projects across Germany.”
The NjordGuard systems will be manufactured at CRP Subsea’s factory in north-west England.
Project engineering works will commence immediately, with delivery scheduled for 2026.
