Thor offshore substation cable installation contract awarded

Axess Technologies has secured a cable installation contract with HSM Offshore Energy for the Thor offshore wind farm located off the Danish west coast.

The scope of work includes project management, engineering, pulling, terminating and testing the internal platform cables into the Thor offshore substation topside.

It covers both 66kV and 275kV cable systems, which is crucial in ensuring that the substation handles and distributes the electricity generated by the wind turbines.

The work is expected to commence in the first quarter of 2025 at HSM’s Schiedam Yard in the Netherlands.

Developed by Germany’s RWE, the 1GW-plus Thor offshore wind farm will be Denmark’s largest to date.

Comprising 72 Siemens Gamesa SG 14-236 DD turbines with recyclable blades and low-carbon steel towers, it is due to be fully operational in 2027.
