JDR to electrify Eni’s Liverpool Bay Transportation and Storage project with power cable supply, helping deliver HyNet North West
menu opisówka
Hartlepool, UK– JDR Cable Systems (JDR), the global subsea cable supplier and service provider, part of the TFKable Group, has been awarded a contract by Liverpool Bay CCS Limited, a member of the Eni SpA group, to supply subsea power cables for its Liverpool Bay CO₂ Transportation and Storage project, which will be the backbone of the HyNet North West industrial decarbonisation cluster. The scope will see JDR deliver approximately 100km of 33kV subsea cables to power repurposed offshore platforms in the Liverpool Bay area.
The contract includes the manufacture and supply of four subsea power cables: a primary cable connecting the shore to the first offshore platform, and three infield cables linking additional platforms. These cables will power the platforms where the CO₂ is injected into depleted offshore storage under Liverpool Bay. This is an essential step in enabling Carbon Capture and Storage in the HyNet Cluster, which will capture up to 4.5 million tonnes of CO₂ per year in the first phase, with the potential to increase to 10 million tonnes per year in the 2030s.
The cables, a mix of aluminium and copper cores, will be designed, manufactured and delivered from the UK in JDR’s upgraded Hartlepool facility and its new high voltage cable facility in Blyth. This investment in UK manufacturing reinforces JDR’s commitment to domestic supply chains while supporting the transition to lower-carbon energy infrastructure.
Rory Graham, Sales Director Floating Wind & Electrification at JDR, said: “By connecting the offshore infrastructure to the UK grid with our power cable solutions, we are proudly enabling the safe and efficient injection of CO₂, as well as reducing the broader environmental impact of these operations. CCS is a key sector for the UK’s energy transition, and we are delighted to be able to provide domestic subsea cable technology for key projects such as HyNet."
HyNet North West is one of the world’s first large-scale, government-backed initiatives for carbon capture and hydrogen. Led by Eni, the project will integrate hydrogen production with CCS to cut industrial emissions, storing CO₂ in depleted offshore reservoirs. As a UK Track 1 cluster with government support, HyNet is driving the country’s net zero ambitions while establishing a model for global industrial decarbonisation.
