Enshore Subsea Awarded Contract for German Offshore Grid Projects
UK-based subsea specialist Enshore Subsea has further strengthened its position in shallow water cable installation with the award of a new contract. The company has secured three initial projects under a six-year framework agreement with Nexans, a global leader in cable system design and manufacturing.
The projects, planned and installed by TenneT Germany, will contribute to offshore grid connection systems, each of which is designed to transmit 2 GW of renewable energy from the German North Sea to the mainland. Enshore Subsea will be responsible for installing the Wadden Sea sections of the submarine cable system for the offshore grid connection systems BalWin3, LanWin2, and LanWin4, with work scheduled for 2027, 2029, and 2030.
“We are pleased to be working with Nexans on these important projects,” said Pierre Boyde, Enshore Subsea CEO. “Our experience in shallow water operations will be invaluable in delivering these installations responsibly. We are also making targeted investments in both specialist installation and trenching assets to support the work ahead and look forward to collaborating closely with Nexans and TenneT in the preparation phase.”
Nexans was awarded the three EPCI turnkey projects as part of its long-term partnership with TenneT, the transmission system operator driving the expansion of Europe’s renewable energy infrastructure.
The Wadden Sea projects follow on from the announcement of Enshore Subsea’s contract win for the export cable installation on the Inch Cape Offshore Wind Farm in March 2025, and Enshore’s ongoing works on the Senegal Power Compact Project for client MCA-Sénégal II.
