End-to-end cable solutions for wind farm projects

Nexans helped Suzlon achieve effective and reliable connections for around 150 wind turbine generators installed in major wind farm projects across Brazil

Suzlon, one of the world’s leading wind turbine manufacturers, has turned to Nexans to support its major projects in Brazil with complete end to end cable solutions that will ensure effective, efficient and reliable connections for some 150 wind turbine generators (WTGs). The total contract value is worth around €11 million.

In two framework agreements with Suzlon, Nexans supplied its WINDLINK® LV and MV tower cables, site kits and accessories together with MV inter-array cables and HV export cables that form the connection to local substations. This enabled Suzlon to benefit from advanced, fully integrated, end-to-end cable solutions that cover not only the products, but also comprehensive technical and logistical support.

While the wind farm projects are located across Brazil, Nexans delivered the cables to Suzlon production sites around the world including Vietnam, Indonesia, South Korea and Brazil.
