Jan De Nul has won a contract to install the export cables that will transport the renewable energy from France’s first commercial-scale floating wind farms from the offshore substation to shore. The two wind farms, off the coast of southern Brittany, will have a total installed capacity of 750 MW, and French transmission system operator RTE has now awarded a framework agreement to Jan De Nul, in partnership with Hellenic Cables, to supply and install the export cables.
