Hellenic Cables, based in Greece, recently announced that it would supply cable for two projects, one in the U.S. and other for the Netherlands.
A press release said that Hellenic Cables will be a supplier to the Leading Light Wind project, a large U.S. offshore wind project located over 40 miles off the coast of New Jersey. The company will provide 65 km of 132 kV inter-array cables for Invenergy, the project’s lead developer, and co-developer energyRe. It noted that Leading Light Wind is the only American-led project in the New York Bight lease area. The delivery of the inter-array cables is scheduled for 2030, with the production of certain cable components starting immediately at the Hellenic Cable plant in Corinth.
Hellenic Cables is part of Cenergy Holdings. “Our contribution ... underscores (our) commitment to providing pioneering solutions that support the energy transition and enhance sustainability on a global scale,” said Cenergy Holdings CEO Alexis Alexiou.
Hellenic Cables also reported that it has a long-term agreement with Enexis Netbeheer (Enexis), one of the Netherland’s largest electricity network operators. Enexis is using eight cable suppliers as part of a €2.3 billion investment program to enhance power distribution infrastructure across five Dutch provinces.
Hellenic Cables will provide a portion of the power cable that will be needed over the next 12 years. That was estimated at 40,000 km of medium-voltage cables and 36,000 km of low-voltage cables to modernize local grids. “This project not only strengthens our presence in the Dutch power distribution market but also represents a sizeable step in Europe’s clean energy transition,” said Hellenic Cables General Manager Kostas Savvakis.
