Athens, 31 August 2023

Hellenic Cables, the cables segment of Cenergy Holdings, has recently signed a contract with DEME Offshore, a leading offshore energy contractor for the supply of inter-array cables for the Eoliennes en mer Dieppe Le Tréport (EMDT), an offshore wind farm in France, located off the coast in the English Channel, which is expected to be commissioned in 2026. The EMDT OWF is a joint venture between Ocean Winds, Sumitomo Corporation and la Banque des Territoires.

Hellenic Cables has been entrusted with the responsibility of designing, manufacturing, and supplying the 66kV inter-array cables and associated accessories that will interconnect the wind turbines and connect them to the offshore substation. The scope of supply involves approximately 120km of 66kV inter-array cables with XLPE insulation. Manufacturing operations are scheduled to take place at the state-of-the-art factory of Hellenic Cables in Corinth, Greece commencing in 2025, with delivery expected to take place in the second semester of 2025.

With a total installed power of 496MW, the offshore wind farm is located 15km off the city of Le Tréport and 17km off the city of Dieppe. Its 62 wind turbines will supply electricity every year to 850,000 people, which is equivalent to 2/3 of the inhabitants of the Seine-Maritime department, or more than all the inhabitants of the Somme department.
