CLV Sia Wiring Gwynt y Môr Wind Farm

Cable installation at the 576MW Gwynt y Môr wind farm site is well underway.

A total of 92 array cables have been laid so far at the wind farm, located 13 km off the coast of North Wales.

Cable laying vessel Sia, owned by CT Offshore, is conducting the cable laying operation and it has 69 more cables left.

The wind farm comprises 160 3.6MW wind turbines, of which 9 remain to be installed by A2SEA’s jack-up Sea Walker.

This GBP 2 billion project is expected to be operational this year, when it will produce enough electricity to power around 400,000 homes.

RWE Innogy holds a 60% stake in this wind farm, Stadtwerke München Gmbh 30% and Siemens AG 10%.
