Belgium’s DEME Offshore has landed a contract worth between €50m and €150m ($54m–$162m) for subsea cable work at the Nordseecluster B offshore wind project in the German North Sea.
The deal covers transport and installation of 124 km of inter-array cables, linking 60 turbine foundations to the offshore substation about 50 km north of Juist island. Engineering, preparation, and support activities are also part of the scope.
Nordseecluster is a joint venture between RWE (51%) and Norges Bank Investment Management (49%), with a total planned capacity of 1.6 GW — enough to power around 1.6m households. RWE is leading construction and operations.
Work on the B phase is scheduled to start in late 2027. DEME will deploy its dedicated cable layer Living Stone and other support assets.
Philip Scheers, general manager for subsea power cables at DEME Offshore, said the award reinforces the company’s position in the European subsea power cable market and builds on cooperation with RWE.
DEME has built a strong track record in German offshore wind. The company’s past projects include Kaskasi, Merkur, Hohe See, Albatros, Godewind I and II, Dolwin 6, and Borkum Riffgrund I and II in the North Sea, as well as Arcadis Ost and Baltic Power in the Baltic.
