Tekmar Energy has won a new contract from cable manufacturer Prysmian Group to supply its Generation 10 TekTube Cable Protection System (CPS) for the Neart na Gaoithe (NnG) offshore wind farm in the UK.

The systems will be delivered in 2021 from the companies state-of-the-art manufacturing facility on Aycliffe Business Park, where significant investment has been made to ready the facility for Generation 10 production, which commenced at the beginning of this year.

“The award reflects the offshore markets continued confidence in our industry-leading cable protection solutions and is a testament to our teams’ commitment to continual product development.”

Since their launch in 2007 and 2013 respectively, Tekmar Energy has delivered over 8,800 TekLink and TekTube cable protection systems, installed on over 90 offshore wind projects worldwide, protecting over 30GW of subsea infrastructure.

Generation 10 brings together the latest advancements of these systems which are now cross-compatible and highly configurable to meet future project demands, including bigger turbines, larger cables, new climatic conditions, latest installation techniques, and utilising improved cable data.
