Tekmar has won a contract from Louis Dreyfus TravOcean to supply cable protection for the 480MW Parc du Banc de Guerande (Saint-Nazaire) offshore wind project.
Saint-Nazaire, which is being developed by EDF Renewables and Enbridge in the Atlantic Sea, will be the first commercial-scale offshore wind farm installed in French waters.
Tekmar Energy will supply 160 TekLink Mechanical Latch cable protection systems for the 33kV inter-array cables manufactured by Prysmian.
Tekmar Energy managing director Russell Edmondson said: “We are thrilled to secure our first contract in France and pleased that Louis Dreyfus TravOcean has selected Tekmar Energy’s industry-leading TekLink CPS for Saint-Nazaire, a project characterised by its rocky seabed that requires the most robust and dependable cable protection solution.”
