NKT has commissioned the export cable system for the 659MW Walney 3 offshore wind farm in the Irish Sea.
The 220kV system comprises over 139km of high voltage alternating current subsea wires.
NKT designed, manufactured and commissioned the two export cables, as well as the underground linked connecting the wind farm to the onshore power grid and joints and terminations.
The wind farm is scheduled to be fully operational later this year.
It comprises 40 MHI Vestas 8.25MW machines and 47 Siemens Gamesa 7MW turbines.
Danish developer Orsted owns 50% of the project, with compatriot pension funds PKA and PFA having each acquired a 25% stake in November last year.
