“We are excited to be a trusted, long-term supplier on the development of the Empire Wind projects and to participate in placing New York State on the way towards reaching 70 percent of its electricity needs from renewable sources by 2030,” commentedChristopher Guérin, CEO of Nexans.
Design and production, as well as the laying and safety of over 300 kilometers of export cables, are all covered by the agreement.
Equinor and BP are developing Empire Wind in New York, about 33 kilometers south of Long Island.
