JDR Cable Systems, part of the TFKable Group, has secured a contract from DEME Offshore for the Coastal Virginia Offshore Wind (CVOW) project, the largest offshore wind farm in the United States.
The 2.6-GW project will supply power to 660,000 homes and contribute to the US goal of deploying 30 GW of offshore wind energy by 2030.
JDR will manage the installation and testing of 66kV subsea inter-array cables for 176 wind turbines and three offshore substations.
Work is set to begin in 2025 and continue into 2026, spanning three campaigns.
The scope includes cable pulling, termination, testing, and commissioning, ensuring reliable power transmission through high voltage tests and final inspections.
