Under the €100m contract, SOC will provide associated materials and services, including the supply of submarine composite cables, cable protection systems and related accessories as well as post-installation termination, trenching and testing services.
Located 115km off the German coast, within the German Bight sector of the North Sea, the Veja Mate facility features 67x 6MW Siemens-supplied wind turbine generators (WTG).
The wind turbines will be inter-connected by an inner array grid (IAG) of 33kV medium voltage alternating current (MVAC) submarine composite cables.
The offshore wind power project is being developed with K2 Management as technical advisors, with Green Giraffe as financial advisor and CMS Hasche Sigle as legal advisor on behalf of owner Highland Group.
The IAG cable system offshore works are planned to commence in 2016 and the project is due to enter service by the end of 2017.
