NKT has joined the Powering Net Zero Pact initiative together with a global group of energy sector companies to encourage collaboration at all tiers of the sector to deliver net zero and support decarbonization.

Production of the world’s longest high-voltage DC underground power cable system for partners in SuedLink, TenneT and TransnetBW, has started at the NKT factory in Karlskrona, Sweden.

NKT continues to support the transition to renewable energy in the UK by completing the power cable system connecting the Hornsea 2 offshore wind farm to shore. With a capacity of 1.3 GW Hornsea 2 will be the world’s biggest offshore wind farm when fully operational.

NKT has christened its new energy-efficient power cable barge being part of a larger investment program to support the growing demand in offshore wind industry. The barge NKT Agrippina is now ready for her maiden trip transporting power cables for the German offshore wind project Ostwind 2.

With a new service agreement NKT supports the Lithuanian TSO Litgrid with on- and offshore repairs of the Lithuanian part of the 300 kV XLPE HVDC interconnector NordBalt.

NKT was awarded the order to repair two interconnectors between Denmark and Norway. The operation has been successfully completed and the power cables Skagerrak 1 and 2 are now back in operation.

To meet the growing demand for power cables in the offshore industry NKT increases its capacity to transport and storage offshore power cables from its German factory in Cologne.

NKT has been awarded a contract of approx. EUR 235m (approx. DKK 1.75bn) by SSEN Transmission to deliver and install a high-voltage DC (direct current) interconnector to the Shetland HVDC Link project. The turnkey order comprises the manufacturing of approx. 2x260 km of 320 kV high-voltage DC on-and offshore power cables, installation by the cable-laying vessel NKT Victoria and protection of the cables.

NKT has finalized a turnkey offshore repair of the Baltic Cable connecting the power grids in Sweden and Germany after it was damaged due to external impact. The power cable system was restored within 29 days from the initial fault notification and is now back in full operation.

NKT recycles the material cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) used for insulation of power cables. For NKT, this is significant step in the ambition to reduce the carbon footprint of its low-, medium- and high-voltage power cable solutions.

NKT signs service agreement with TenneT for high-voltage cable systems

It's the largest offshore export cable order ever for NKT worth approx. EUR 300m / The contract was won in a consortium with Boskalis Subsea Cables & Flexibles, who will install the offshore cable system

NKT has signed an export cable Pre-Construction Agreement (PCA) for delivery and installation of export cable system to the prospective UK offshore wind farm project Inch Cape.

NKT has successfully commissioned the high-voltage cable system project for the 659 MW offshore wind park Walney Extension in the Irish Sea.

NKT has successfully commissioned and handed over the 155 kV high-voltage AC Nordergründe offshore wind transmission link on time to the Dutch-German transmission system operator TenneT.

NKT has signed a Preferred Bidder Agreement (PBA) for delivery and installation of export cable systems to the prospective offshore wind farm project Moray East, developed by MOWEL, Moray East Offshore Windfarm Ltd, owned by EDP Renováveis S.A., and ENGIE.

NKT has signed a Preferred Supplier Agreement (PSA) for delivery and installation of export and array cable systems to the prospective offshore wind farm project Triton Knoll.

nkt cables has supplied the 72 kV connector which enables transmission of power from one of the two V164 8MW prototype wind turbines from MHI Vestas installed in Maade, near Esbjerg on Denmark’s west coast. The two wind turbines, which are the largest on the market, provide power to approximately 18,000 Danish households.

nkt cables will be at the CIGRE 2016 Technical Exhibition in Paris from 22nd – 26th August, where we will be showcasing innovative products and solutions for high voltage and extra high voltage power systems, including:

Ellevio has implemented a tender for its future needs for power cables in their distribution networks and has assigned nkt cables a contract for 3 + 1 years. The agreement includes low-voltage and medium-voltage cable and Universal Cables.

nkt cables has been awarded a contract by DONG Energy to deliver 170 kilometres of 220 kV high-voltage AC submarine export cable system for the Hornsea Project One offshore wind farm.

nkt cables has been awarded the order for delivery and installation of the export cable system for the Galloper offshore wind farm in a consortium with VBMS, a Dutch marine contractor.
