DONG Energy has awarded the Hanover-based cable specialist Nexans a contract worth €30 million for the supply and installation of 34 kV cables for the Anholt Offshore Wind Farm.

The cables produced will be used to connect the 111 wind turbines with each other as well as linking them to the offshore transformer station

Located in the Baltic Sea approximately 20 km off the Danish coast between Djusland and Anholt Island the wind farm is expected to generate 400 MW of electrical power in total.

The Anholt Wind Farm therefore is in line with Danish 2050 strategy which hopes to become independent for coal, oil and gas by 2050.
