CRP Subsea, an AIS company, has secured a contract from DeepOcean, involving supplying cable protection systems (CPS) for RWE’s Nordseecluster A offshore wind project, located in the German North Sea.
Under this agreement, CRP Subsea will deliver 96 NjordGuard CPS to protect the inter array cables on the project’s wind turbines. The CPS are set to be engineered to meet the specific installation requirements for both monopile and J-tube interfaces.
“We are honored by DeepOcean’s decision to select CRP Subsea for this project,” says Andy Smith, head of Sales at CRP Subsea.
“This contract reinforces our commitment to advancing the renewable energy sector and highlights our role in supporting the development of sustainable energy infrastructure. It also strengthens our ongoing partnership with DeepOcean and complements our involvement in other key projects across Germany.’’
The NjordGuard systems will be manufactured at CRP Subsea’s purpose-built manufacturing facility in the northwest of England, with delivery scheduled for 2026.
The Nordseecluster offshore wind project is expected to be constructed in two phases: Nordseecluster A, with a 660 MW capacity, is scheduled to begin construction at sea next year, with all turbines expected to be grid-connected by 2027. The second phase, Nordseecluster B, will add 900 MW, with commercial operation anticipated in early 2029.
