Transmission system operator TenneT has awarded the 155kV HVAC grid connection of the offshore wind farm Hohe See to ZTT, a Chinese cable manufacturer. The scope of work also includes the supply of shunt reactors, GIS terminal and land conversion joints. ZTT will deliver the grid connection as a turn-key solution.

ZTT has chosen market leading partners to complete this project, working with Van Oord Offshore Wind Projects Bv as installer of the cables and Siemens as provider of the shunt reactors.

Tom Qu, Vice President of ZTT:
“Winning TenneT’s BorWin3 project has been a dream come true for one and all in ZTT. We are very excited and honored to be accepted as contractor for this project. As a global brand, we are committed to deliver the best quality and increasing efficiency without compromising reliability to our clients. This marks a significant milestone in our entry and technological contribution to the Europan offshore wind industry.”

Wilfried Breuer, member of TenneT Holding BV Executive Board:
“We are very pleased to award the contract to ZTT as it increases the number of our suppliers for high voltage cables globally. This kind of technology will gain increasing significance because it will be used more frequently on- as well as offshore. High voltage AC- and DC-cable will play an important role in the realisation of our grid expansion.”
