OX2 and Ingka Investments have entered into a conditional agreement with NKT for delivery and installation of export power cables for a pair of offshore wind farms off Sweden.
NKT’s factory in Karlskrona will deliver the wires for the recently awarded Galene project in Sweden.
The agreement also covers the Triton offshore wind farm.
The deal will enable OX2 and Ingka Investments to start realising the projects following grant of final permits.
NKT will provide supply of up to 210km of offshore and onshore export cables as well as installation of offshore export wires required for the the two sites.
“This is the second conditional contract for our offshore projects Galene and Triton in Sweden, which includes both the supply and installation of offshore export cables targeting the use of the installation vessel NKT Victoria,” said head of offshore wind development, OX2 Sweden Emelie Zakrisson.
“We are incredibly happy to engage with NKT and bringing key Swedish manufacturers into our first Swedish offshore projects,” she added.
OX2 is developing three offshore wind farms in Sweden together with Ingka Investments. Galene is on the west coast, Triton is in the south of Sweden, and Aurora is between the islands Gotland and Öland.
