Project Experience

Rampion Offshore Wind Farm – First Wind Farm on the South Coast of England Farm

JDR was selected to supply 142km of 36kV inter-array cables for the Rampion Offshore Wind Farm, located off the south coast of England. With 116 turbines generating 400MW, this project will power around 350,000 homes. The cables were manufactured at JDR’s Hartlepool facility, with installation services provided for the project.

Beatrice Offshore Wind Farm – Scotland's Largest Offshore Wind Farm

JDR supplied 180 km of 33 kV inter-array cables and associated accessories for the Beatrice Offshore Wind Farm, located 13 km off the Scottish coast. These cables enabled the transmission of energy from the wind turbines to local substations. Manufactured at JDR’s facility in Hartlepool, UK, the cables were then transported to Scotland and installed at the Beatrice wind farm.

The 588 MW project supplies power to 450,000 homes and was one of the first offshore wind farms to be installed in such deep waters. Its objective was to connect 5 MW turbines to an offshore platform, representing a significant step forward in the development of offshore wind energy.

A team of 48 technicians carried out the installation of the cables and associated equipment on the wind turbine platforms, supported by a six-person on-site assistance team. The Beatrice project was a key milestone in offshore wind farm development, demonstrating the potential of renewable energy in challenging marine conditions.

Dudgeon Offshore Wind Farm – 95km of Copper Core Inter-Array Cables

JDR was awarded a contract for the Statoil/Statkraft Dudgeon Offshore Wind Farm, located 32 km off the Norfolk coast. The project used over 95 km of copper core inter-array cables, including 185 mm² and 500 mm² copper conductors. Manufactured at JDR's Hartlepool facility, these cables connected 67 turbines to mainland UK and included a range of cable accessories for efficient installation.

Sandbank Offshore Wind Farm

For the Sandbank offshore wind farm, JDR designed and supplied 105km of inter-array cables, including a new 630mm² copper core cable. Located off Germany’s North Sea coast, the project involved the use of JDR’s innovative coilable cables, providing increased flexibility for installation and vessel selection while ensuring the highest standards in cable performance and quality.

Wintershall Ravn Development Project

JDR delivered an 18 km composite power and control umbilical for Wintershall’s Ravn Development off Denmark’s coast. The umbilical connected a new platform to an existing one, with JDR also providing subsea hardware and lifecycle support.

Veja Mate Offshore Wind Farm – Connecting Power to 400,000 Homes

JDR was selected to supply 33kV medium voltage submarine composite cables for the Veja Mate Offshore Wind Farm, 115km off the German coast. The 402MW project will power 400,000 homes. The cables, manufactured at JDR’s Hartlepool facility, were connected 67 Siemens turbines and be accompanied by a full range of cable accessories.

Nordsee One Offshore Wind Farm – New Aluminium Core Inter-Array Cable Design

JDR was selected to supply over 70 km of aluminium core inter-array cables for the Nordsee One Offshore Wind Farm, located 40 km north of Juist Island, Germany. This project, featuring 54 turbines in water depths of up to 34 meters, used two JDR-designed cables: a 240 mm² and an 800 mm² aluminium conductor cable. Manufactured at JDR’s Hartlepool facility, the cables were XLPE insulated and type tested to IEC 60502-2 and CIGRE standards.

Meerwind Süd/Ost Offshore Wind Farm

JDR was selected to supply over 110km of inter-array subsea cables for the Meerwind Süd/Ost wind farm off Germany’s coast. The cables connected 80 turbines to offshore substations, leveraging JDR's extensive expertise in subsea power cable design. This project demonstrated JDR's ability to meet complex requirements for offshore projects in Europe.

ENI Abo 12 Phase 3 Development

JDR supplied a 1.55 km electro-hydraulic steel tube hybrid umbilical for ENI’s Abo 12 Phase 3 project in Nigeria, connecting a Subsea Distribution Unit to a new well. The project included fast-track design, manufacture, and Nigerian content training.

Santos Fletcher & Finucane Development

JDR delivered thermoplastic control umbilicals and ESP power cables for Santos’ Fletcher & Finucane project, located offshore Western Australia. The package, totaling over 60 km, was designed to boost production with multiplexed electro-hydraulic systems and delivered from JDR’s Hartlepool facility.

ConocoPhillips Bayu Undan Project

JDR provided 29 km of umbilicals for Phase 3 of ConocoPhillips’ Bayu Undan gas and condensate field in the Timor Sea. These umbilicals support stand-alone wells tied back to central facilities, ensuring sustained production over the next 13-15 years.
