Hellenic Cables, the cables segment of Cenergy Holdings, celebrates the successful launch of South Fork Wind, the first commercial-scale offshore wind farm in the United States, developed by Ørsted and Eversource.

Hellenic Cables’ scope included the design, manufacturing, testing, and supply of 30 km 66kV XLPE-insulated subsea inter-array cables, associated accessories, as well as testing and termination works, contributing to the successful energization of the project.

Situated 35 miles east of Montauk Point, New York, South Fork Wind now delivers clean energy to the local grid, powering 70,000 Long Island homes. This achievement of the commercial-scale offshore wind farm underscores America’s commitment and progress toward a carbon-neutral future.
