The project is a joint venture between SSE Renewables (40%), Equinor (40%), and Eni Plenitude (20%). NKT will supply and install the onshore and offshore HVDC cables for all three project phases. The company will use its cable-laying vessel NKT Victoria to establish the 320kV DC subsea cable system in challenging North Sea conditions.<\/p>\n
Head of Project Execution in NKT, Darren Fennell, noted: \u201cAs a long term high-voltage DC technology partner to Equinor, Eni Plenitude and SSE, NKT is excited to have reached the installation phase of the Dogger Bank A nearshore cables. The overall project is key for the continued European focus on increasing the use of renewable energy sources, and we look forward to successfully completing the cable installations.\u201d<\/p>\n
LMR Drilling Managing Director, Jez Seamans, concluded: \u201cIt has been a fantastic project to be involved in, with the HDD landfalls forming a small but crucial part of the overall project linking the offshore power generating system with the onshore grid.\u00a0 It is great to see the first of the cables being installed into these landfall ducts, another step in the ongoing decarbonisation of UK power.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
