ABB Wins Order to Connect Offshore Windfarm to the Belgian Grid

Zurich, Switzerland - ABB has won an order worth around $80 million from Rentel NV in Belgium to deliver an advanced cable system that will connect the offshore substation at the Rentel windfarm located off the Belgian coastline to the mainland close to Zeebrugge. The order was booked in the first quarter of 2016.

ABB will design, manufacture and install the approximately 40 kilometer long extruded three-core 220-kilovolt alternating current (AC) submarine cable system which will have a transmission capacity of around 300 megawatts.

The Rentel windfarm connection in the Belgian North Sea will play a significant role in meeting Belgium
