TKH secures cable installation works in support of Inch Cape wind farm off Scotland

Netherlands-based the TKH Group, through subsidiary TKF, has been awarded a turnkey inter-array cable contract by Inch Cape Offshore for the Inch Cape wind farm, located off the east coast of Scotland.

The contract has a total value of approximately €200 million (US$210 million). The wind farm will have an installed capacity of 1,080 MW, which TKH said is equivalent to the electricity demand of more than half the homes in Scotland.

TKF will be responsible for the 66kV inter-array aluminium core cables and accessories, with a total length of 152 kilometres. The extensive scope includes the engineering, manufacturing, testing, supply and installation of the inter-array cables and corresponding accessories.

The Inch Cape Wind Farm is located in the North Sea, 15 kilometres off the Angus coast in East Scotland. The wind farm will consist of seventy-two 15MW wind turbine generators on a mix of jacket and monopile foundations. Offshore construction is scheduled to start in 2025.
