The contract includes the design, engineering, procurement, manufacturing and testing of around 360 km of High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) export cables and fibre optic cables, including the offshore installation and onshore jointing. For DEME, the share in the project represents a sizable contract.
“We are delighted that Vattenfall has selected DEME and LS Cable & System for this major wind farm” said Philip Scheers, Business Unit Director at DEME Offshore. “Our dedicated vessels, renowned for their performance in the industry, and expert team enable us to provide a very efficient solution for such a large-scale cabling scope. We are proud to partner with Vattenfall, which shares our views for a sustainable world, and to play a role in delivering green energy to millions of UK homes. We look forward to working with our consortium partner LS Cable & System to successfully and safely deliver this project.”
Works will be executed in 2026, involving a cable installation vessel, a trailing suction hopper dredger and a fallpipe vessel from the DEME fleet.
Located 47 kilometres off the Norfolk coast in the UK, Norfolk Boreas is the first phase of Vattenfall’s Norfolk Offshore Wind Zone and represents an installed capacity of 1.4 GW. Once completed, the entire zone can produce clean energy for more than four million households and save about six million tonnes of carbon dioxide.
