Norway-based Axess Technologies has secured a contract to install cables at the 1.1-GW Thor offshore wind farm, located in the Danish North Sea.
The agreement was awarded by HSM Offshore Energy, the company responsible for the engineering, procurement, construction, installation, and commissioning of the project's offshore substation and jacket foundation.
Under the contract, Axess Technologies will handle project management, engineering, cable pulling, termination, and testing of the internal platform cables for the substation topside.
The scope of the work includes the installation of both 66-kV and 275-kV cable systems, which will transmit electricity from the wind farm.
The project is set to begin in the first quarter of next year at HSM's Schiedam Yard in the Netherlands.
Denmark's Thor offshore wind farm will be the country's largest, featuring 72 Siemens Gamesa wind turbines, each with a capacity of 15 MW.
Offshore installation is scheduled for 2025 and 2026, with the wind farm expected to become fully operational by the end of 2027. Once completed, the Thor wind park will generate enough electricity to power more than one million Danish households.
