Prysmian has started installing the export cables which will connect the 480 MW Saint-Nazaire offshore wind farm to the French grid.<\/p>\n

The cable pull-in operations started off the Courance beach on Sunday, 9 August, Rseau de Transport dlectricit (RTE), the French transmission system operator, said.<\/p>\n
Back in 2017, RTE selected Prysmian to develop and deliver submarine cable links to connect three offshore wind farms to the French grid, including the Saint-Nazaire wind farm off Loire-Atlantique.<\/p>\n
Prysmian is in charge of the design, supply, installation, testing, and commissioning of two high-voltage export power cable links for each of the three offshore wind farms being developed by Eolien Maritime France (EMF), a joint venture company owned by EDF Renewables and Canadas Enbridge.<\/p>\n
In total, Prysmian will install 33 kilometres of submarine cables and 27 kilometres of underground cables to connect the wind farm to the grid.<\/p>\n
TheSaint-Nazaireoffshore wind farm, also known as Parc du Banc de Gurande, will comprise 80 GE Haliade 150-6MW turbines manufactured in France and scheduled to be operational in the summer of 2022. <\/p>\n
