Under the contract, TKF will supply 130 kilometers of 66kV inter-array aluminum core cables and related accessories. The company’s responsibilities include engineering, production, testing, and delivery of these cables, which will link the offshore installations to Amprion’s converter platform. Manufacturing will take place at TKF’s new carbon-neutral facility in Eemshaven, Netherlands, emphasizing sustainable production practices.
Holger Matthiesen, project director at Luxcara and managing director of Waterkant Energy, expressed optimism about the partnership: “We are delighted to partner with TKF, a reliable and highly experienced provider known for their technological leadership and strong track record in delivering innovative cable solutions. TKF’s commitment to quality and sustainability aligns seamlessly with our objectives for the Waterkant offshore wind project. With partners like TKF, we are further strengthening our commitment to delivering sustainable energy solutions across Europe, and we look forward to a successful collaboration.”
Walter Heerts, managing director of TKF Subsea Solutions, echoed this sentiment: “We are very pleased to have signed this contract with Luxcara and look forward to the cooperation. We strongly believe that our innovative and sustainable inter-array cables will create reliable and long-lasting connections. Together with Luxcara, we will contribute to a more sustainable future, supplying the critical infrastructure.”
Located approximately 90 kilometers from Borkum Island, the Waterkant site neighbors a group of operational offshore wind farms. Once completed, the project is expected to connect to Germany’s national grid by 2028, providing clean electricity to around 400,000 households. This development underscores efforts to expand renewable energy capacity in the region, leveraging advanced technology to ensure efficient and dependable power generation.
The collaboration between Luxcara and TKF highlights a shared focus on sustainability and innovation. The inter-array cables, a vital component of the offshore wind farm, will facilitate the seamless transmission of energy, supporting the project’s goal of contributing to Europe’s clean energy landscape.
