Tekmar to Shield Offshore Wind Cables in China

Tekmar Energy has secured Cable Protection System (CPS) supply contracts for two offshore wind farm projects located in the coastal province of Guangdong in southeast China.

Under the agreements, Tekmar Energy will supply its patented TekLink mechanical latch CPS technology to protect subsea cables as they transition from the seabed through the dynamic zone at over 110 offshore turbine locations.

The contracts have a combined value of over £2.5m and will be delivered from Tekmar Energy's manufacturing facility in the North East of England and exported to China in 2021.

Tekmar Energy managing director Russell Edmondson said: "We are delighted to be supplying our industry-leading cable protection technology to additional offshore wind farm projects in China.

"We have now supplied our CPS and cable hang-off assemblies to 17 offshore wind farm projects in the region.

"The contract awards also reflect the hard work of our teams in Shanghai China and the UK."
