Cenergy Holdings announces that Hellenic Cables, its cables segment, in a consortium with Jan De Nul Luxemburg SA, signed a framework agreement with the French TSO, Réseau de Transport d’Électricité (RTE). The awarded “Bretagne Sud” project involves the design, manufacturing and installation of high-voltage submarine as well as the design, manufacturing and supply of onshore power cable systems to support France’s renewable energy goals. Located off the coast of southern Brittany, the project will deliver cable systems that will support connection of future offshore wind farms to the mainland grid.
Hellenic Cables will supply 390km of 225kV export cables, split into 150km of offshore cables and 240km of onshore cables. The project will establish three key cable links which will subsequently allow the connection of one 250MW floating offshore wind farm and a second one later, bringing the total power to 750 MW. These cables will play a crucial role in delivering clean energy to France’s power network.
Hellenic Cables will be responsible for the design, manufacturing, termination, testing and commissioning of the 225kV cables, while Jan De Nul will be responsible for the transportation, laying and protection of the cable links. The submarine cables will be produced at the Hellenic Cable’s expanded facility in Corinth, Greece, with delivery expected between 2028 and 2030, while the land cables will be manufactured at Hellenic Cable’s land cable facility in Thiva, Greece.
