Paris, September
22,
2022 – Nexans, a global organization and key
driver for the world’s transition to a more connected and
sustainable energy future, today announced the finalization of a
second U.S.-based contract with Ørsted and Eversource to supply the
export cable system for the Revolution Wind Farm. Located more than
15 miles south of the Rhode Island coast and 32 miles east of the
Connecticut coast, the project will connect the wind farm to the
onshore grid.
The 704 MW Revolution Wind Farm will help both
states achieve their ongoing commitments to develop offshore wind
and address their energy needs, delivering electricity to more than
350,000 homes. By eliminating potential future emissions, the
historic project will replace close to one million metric tons of
carbon pollution – the equivalent of taking more than 200,000 cars
off the road annually.
Revolution will be the 3rd project to be
delivered from our continuously expanding Charleston, South
Carolina facility confirming Nexans leadership in the US
market.
The agreement was signed in December 2019 to
accelerate the energy transition in North America by bringing
Nexans’ industry-leading subsea cable technology to the U.S.
Ragnhild Katteland, Nexans’ Executive Vice
President, Subsea & Land Systems, stated, “Establishing our
footprint in the United States and furthering our commitment to the
U.S. offshore wind industry is at the core of our business
operations. We have made several investments to deliver subsea
transmission cables that are manufactured and installed in America,
and the partnership with Ørsted and Eversource is the first step in
bolstering supply chains with strong, local partners. We are
committed to pushing the boundaries of what is possible as
innovation is crucial to meet the needs of a territory as large as
the United States. Closely aligning with our mission to electrify
the future, Nexans is proud to support this important work in the
clean energy sector and expedite our journey to net zero.”
