French company Nexans has won a contract to supply Orsted and Eversource will an export cable system for the Revolution offshore wind farm in the US.
Located more than 15 miles south of the Rhode Island coast and 32 miles east of the Connecticut coast, the 704MW Revolution Wind Farm will deliver electricity to more than 350,000 homes.
The award follows a similar cable installation contract for Nexans, announced in March this year.
Revolution will be the third project to be delivered from Nexans Charleston, South Carolina facility.
“Establishing our footprint in the United States and furthering our commitment to the US offshore wind industry is at the core of our business operations,” said Nexans executive vice-president for subsea and land systems Ragnhild Katteland.
“We have made several investments to deliver subsea transmission cables that are manufactured and installed in America, and the partnership with Orsted and Eversource is the first step in bolstering supply chains with strong, local partners.
“We are committed to pushing the boundaries of what is possible as innovation is crucial to meet the needs of a territory as large as the United States. Closely aligning with our mission to electrify the future, Nexans is proud to support this important work in the clean energy sector and expedite our journey to net zero.”
