MILAN, ItalyPrysmian has completed subsea power cable activities at the Gruissan/Eolmed floating offshore wind farm project in southern France.

The location is 15 km from the coastal town of Gruissan in the Mediterranean Sea. France’s Qair leads the Eolmed consortium, which includes Total, BW Ideol for the Damping Pool concrete floater, and MHI Vestas, which will supply the three wind turbines.

In 2021, TSO RTE (Réseau de Transport d'Électricité) awarded the company an EPCI contract for the export submarine power cable system.

Prysmian’s scope covered design, supply, installation, termination, testing and commissioning of a 66-kV static three-core export submarine cable with EPR insulation (23 km) as well as a 66-kV dynamic submarine export tail with EPR insulation connecting the onshore grid to the floating electrical hub of the 30-MW floating wind farm, still under construction.
