contract
Papendrecht, 23 March 2022
Boskalis has been awarded the Hollandse Kust West Beta export
cable contract by TenneT, in consortium with Orient Cables (NBO).
The contract scope comprises the installation of two
65-kilometer-long export cables that will connect the planned
Hollandse Kust West Beta 700 MW offshore wind farm to TenneT’s
onshore grid in the Netherlands. Furthermore, Boskalis will install
a 9-kilometer-long 66kV interconnector cable between the Hollandse
Kust West Alpha and Hollandse Kust West Beta offshore substations.
Boskalis will execute this contract in consortium with its partner
NBO that will design and supply the high-voltage cable system. The
two 220kV AC cable circuits will come ashore near the existing
onshore high voltage substation at Wijk aan Zee, the Netherlands.
The value of this contract for Boskalis is considered to be
‘sizable’ (1).
For this project Boskalis will deliver an integrated solution of
in-house services including the removal of unexploded ordnance from
the seabed, geotechnical and geophysical surveys, beach and seabed
preparation works and the laying and burial of the cables. The
Hollandse Kust West Beta offshore windfarm is expected to enter
service in 2025.
With this project and through its client TenneT, Boskalis is
advancing the energy transition by making renewable energy
available in the Netherlands. The Hollandse Kust (West Beta)
project is a part of the Dutch national roadmap to achieve a 49%
reduction in CO2 emissions by 2030.
(1) For Boskalis, a “sizable” contract carries a value in
between EUR 50-150 million
