US Wind has selected JDR Cable Systems as preferred supplier for the 750MW Maryland offshore wind project. <\/p>\n
State regulators are reviewing the developers application for offshore renewable energy credits for a 250MW first phase. Also in the running is the 120MW Skipjack project by Deepwater Wind. <\/p>\n
JDR's scope of work for US Wind would include project management, engineering and manufacture of 122 miles of inter-array cable, 112 miles of export cable and cable accessories. <\/p>\n
US Wind president Riccardo Toto said: \"We're interested in putting together a whole new offshore wind industry right here, in Maryland, and bringing JDR here is a big piece of that puzzle.\" <\/p>\n
UK-headquartered JDR would also provide cable installation and testing. <\/p>\n
Cable manufacture is expected to start in 2018 with delivery and installation in 2019 and 2020. Engineering work is scheduled to begin later this year. <\/p>\n
The Maryland Public Service Commission is expected to award OREC funding by May. <\/p>\n
