Tekmar Energy’s Generation 10 CPS will protect cables on Neart Na Gaoithe
A MARINE engineering firm based in County Durham has secured an international offshore contract set to power 375,000 homes.
Tekmar Energy, a Newton Aycliffe manufacture, whose products protect offshore windfarm cables from the elements, will supply its TekTube system for the Neart na Gaoithe offshore windfarm in the UK.
The 450MW NnG project, jointly owned by EDF Renewables and ESB, is located in the Firth of Forth, Scotland.
Once complete the project has the potential to generate enough renewable energy to supply power to around 375,000 Scottish homes.
Russell Edmondson, managing director at Tekmar Energy, said: “We are delighted that Prysmian Group has selected our latest advancement in CPS technology for deployment on NnG.
