Layer of Stones to Protect Connection Cables at Danish Offshore Wind Farm

July 8, 2013

The 111 wind turbines in the Anholt offshore wind farm are connected with Energinet.dk’s offshore substation via approximately 160 kilometres of cable flushed down into the seabed. However, at several positions, it has not been possible to flush the cable at a sufficient depth due to stones or hard seabed.

Therefore, the vessel, Tertnes, will lay a protecting layer of stones in the identified areas during the summer to ensure the required protection of the cables.

The marine coordination adjusts the duty as of 1 July
