Nexans has been selected by ScottishPower Renewables as a key supplier for the East Anglia THREE offshore wind project. Part of the East Anglia Hub, East Anglia THREE (EA3) comprises an offshore wind farm approximately 69 kilometres off the Suffolk coast, with an onshore cable route transporting green energy to a converter station in Bramford.
Such large-scale installations demand seamless integration, high reliability and fault-free performance across vast distances and harsh marine environments. Nexans, chosen for its technical response, engineering expertise, integrated approach and flawless reliability record, is helping ScottishPower Renewables overcome these challenges by supplying the 66kV accessories through its dedicated Business Unit.
As utility providers continue to invest in clean, renewable energy infrastructure, building and maintaining offshore wind farms remains one of the most complex engineering feats in the sector. Nexans’ accessories, including T-connectors, bushings, junction boxes and cable lugs, and pre-terminated power cables, will support safe and consistent electrical performance across East Anglia THREE. All Nexans components are field-proven and engineered to deliver reliable electrical continuity from the turbine nacelle through to the offshore platform.
