NextGeo Concludes Tyrrhenian Link's East Section Survey for Prysmian
the entire Mediterranean.With this project, Terna, the Italian transmission system operator (TSO), will connect Sicily with Sardinia and the Italian peninsula through a double submarine HVDC cable link with a power capacity of 1,000 MW and a total length of about 970 km.The connection will improve the electricity exchange capacity, promote the development of renewable sources and the reliability of the grid.“This mission presented quite a few operational challenges, however it was successfully, efficiently and sustainably accomplished, thanks to the consistent NextGeo resilience, resources and capabilitie
Norway Offers $193 Million Funding to Arctic Floating Wind Farm Project
Oceanwind, renewables developer Source Galileo and Japanese utility Kansai Electric Power Company.It will connect to an existing power cable supplying power from shore to the Goliat oil platform, operated by Vaar Energi, a subsidiary of Italy's ENI.The oil platform consumes around 50-55 MW of electricity, which means that on full wind days, the planned turbines could send up to 25 MW to shore, Gunnar Birkeland, the head of Source Gallileo Norge, told Reuters.Birkeland would not provide an overall cost estimate but said the awarded funding was "significant" for the project.Operation is
Prysmian, Hitachi, BAM Get Cable and Converter Stations Contracts for UK Subsea Link
Eastern Green Link 2 (EGL2), a joint venture between SSEN Transmission and National Grid Electricity Transmission (NGET), has awarded contracts for the development of ‘subsea electricity superhighway’ to Prysmian, Hitachi Energy and BAM.EGL2 will see the creation of a 525kV, 2GW HVDC subsea transmission cable from Peterhead in Scotland to Drax in England.The longest HVDC cable in the UK and the UK’s single largest electricity transmission project ever, providing enough electricity to power 2 million UK homes.Prysmian has confirmed it has the capability to deliver the project with its
Minesto Generates First Power with 1.2MW Tidal Energy Kite
Swedish marine energy company Minesto has reached a key milestone with the delivery of first electricity to Faroe Island’s grid from its 1.2MW utility-scale Dragon 12 tidal energy device.In the early morning of February 9, the Dragon 12 device was successfully commissioned and started producing power ‘at satisfactory levels’ in its first phase of operation, Minesto informed.The 12-meter wide and 28-ton heavy subsea kite, anchored with a tether to the seabed, is steered in an eight-shaped flight trajectory powered by the tidal flow.“This is a big day for Minesto. We have reached
