Vattenfall, one of Europe's leading energy companies, has taken another significant step forward in its mission towards a fossil fuel-free future with the signing of an agreement with Hellenic Cables. The partnership will provide approximately 850 km of aluminum cables to link the wind turbines in the Norfolk Offshore Wind Zone together with the offshore substation. This will power what will be one of the largest offshore wind zones in the world, capable of powering around 4.6 million homes.
Catrin Jung, Head of Offshore Wind at Vattenfall, expressed her enthusiasm for the project, saying: “We're really pleased to be working with Hellenic Cables who will be providing the inter array cables for our Norfolk Offshore Wind Zone. This is another important milestone for the project and Vattenfall's mission for fossil fuel-free living within a generation.”

Kostas Savvakis, General Manager at Hellenic Cables, echoed this sentiment, saying: “We are delighted that Vattenfall has renewed our collaboration and once again entrusted Hellenic Cables with supplying its high-quality cables to Norfolk, one of the world's largest offshore wind zones. We welcome the opportunity to work with Vattenfall once more and successfully execute this flagship project.”
The Norfolk Offshore Wind Zone is a major part of Vattenfall's efforts to deliver clean, affordable energy to millions of homes in the UK. With the inter array cables provided by Hellenic Cables, Vattenfall will be one step closer to achieving this goal, which is essential in the fight against climate change.
