Hellenic Cables, the cables division of Cenergy Holdings, has been awarded a contract by DEME to supply inter-array cables for the BC-Wind offshore wind project in Poland. The BC-Wind project, which is being developed by Ocean Winds, a 50/50 joint venture between EDP Renewables and ENGIE which develops offshore wind farms internationally, is located approximately 23 km off the coast of Poland in the Baltic Sea.

The wind farm has a planned installed capacity of up to 390 MW, a total of 26 wind turbines and once operational will provide clean electricity to approximately half a million households annually.

Under the contract, Hellenic Cables will be responsible for the design, engineering, production, testing and supply of approximately 70 km of 66 kV inter-array submarine cables, including spares, as well as the supply of their related components.

The cables will be produced at Hellenic Cables’ state-of-the-art submarine cable production plant in Corinth, with completion scheduled for the end of 2027.

This new contract follows the previous award of an EPCI export cable contract for the BC-Wind project, which Hellenic Cables had signed with Ocean Winds in a joint venture with DEME.

Philip Scheers, General Manager Cables at DEME, said: “DEME and Hellenic Cables have repeatedly proven their effective collaboration on multiple offshore wind projects. We expect that our shared expertise and commitment to quality will lead to a safe and successful implementation of the BC-Wind project.”

Costas Savvakis, General Manager of Hellenic Cables, said: “This project further strengthens our role as a trusted partner in offshore wind projects across Europe. Our collaboration with DEME and Ocean Winds on the BC-Wind project reflects our proven ability to provide high-quality cable solutions, supporting the clean energy transition in the Baltic region.”

Pete Geddes, BC-Wind Project Director at Ocean Winds, said: “The selection of Hellenic Cables for the entire inter-array cable package is another significant milestone for the BC-Wind project as it moves into the construction phase. Their proven expertise in providing reliable subsea cable systems, combined with our close collaboration with DEME, will be instrumental in the reliable and timely implementation of this offshore wind farm in the Baltic Sea.”
