Vattenfall and TFK Partner on Offshore Cable Supply for Wind Farms
Vattenfall, the Swedish state-owned energy provider, has signed a new Vattenfall TFK offshore cable agreement with TFK Group. The deal covers the supply of 66 kV inter-array cables for all bottom-fixed European wind farms developed by Vattenfall in the coming years.
First Project in the Vattenfall TFK Offshore Cable Agreement
The partnership will begin with the Nordlicht cluster in Germany. The contract runs for three years and includes an option to extend for five more. Both companies plan to use this long-term approach to ensure stability, efficiency, and continued cooperation across offshore projects.
Vattenfall operates in Denmark, Finland, Germany, the Netherlands, and the U.K. As part of its renewable energy mission, the company continues expanding sustainable operations and investing in innovative offshore technologies.
Innovation and Partnership Drive Growth
Catrin Jung, Head of Offshore Wind at Vattenfall, described the agreement as an important step forward. “Working with dedicated and reliable partners matters,” she said. “TFK brings both innovative technology and a commitment to building sustainable offshore power networks.”
Alexander van der Lof, CEO of TFK Group, added, “After working successfully with Vattenfall on Hollandse Kust Zuid 1 and 2, we’re excited to collaborate again. Our latest investments in electrification and subsea cable capacity will strengthen our offshore capabilities.”
Previously, TFK supplied 150 km of 66 kV inter-array cables for two Vattenfall wind farms in the North Sea, about 22 km off the Dutch coast near The Hague and Zandvoort.
Vattenfall Reaches New Milestone with Vesterhav Syd
At the same time, Vattenfall achieved another milestone by delivering the first electricity from its Vesterhav Syd offshore wind farm to Denmark’s national grid. This success follows seven years of focused development and testing.
“It’s incredibly rewarding to see Vesterhav Syd connected,” said Mathilde Damsgaard, Project Director for Vesterhav Syd and Nord Offshore Wind Farms. “Our team is proud to produce clean, fossil-free power for Denmark.”
For this project, Hellenic Cables supplied around 70 km of 66 kV cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) inter-array cables and related accessories to support stable energy delivery.
