Cable laying vessel Living Stone has started the first inter-array cable installation campaign at the 950 MW Moray East wind farm offshore Scotland.<\/p>\n
The wind farm will feature 100 66 kV inter-array cables and two offshore substation interconnector cables supplied by JDR Cable System.<\/p>\n
The installation campaign will be carried out in three phases. The first campaign started on 29 September and will continue for eight weeks.<\/p>\n
Boskalis is in charge of supplying and installing the inter-array cables for the 100-turbine project.<\/p>\n
