Enshore Subsea Awarded Contract for German Offshore Grid Projects

Posted on 05 January 2026

UK-based subsea specialist Enshore Subsea has further strengthened its position in shallow 
water cable installation with the award of a new contract. The company has secured three 
initial projects under a six-year framework agreement with Nexans, a global leader in cable 
system design and manufacturing. 

The projects, planned and installed by TenneT Germany, will contribute to offshore grid connection 
systems, each of which is designed to transmit 2 GW of renewable energy from the German North Sea 
to the mainland. Enshore Subsea will be responsible for installing the Wadden Sea sections of the 
submarine cable system for the offshore grid connection systems BalWin3, LanWin2, and LanWin4, 
with work scheduled for 2027, 2029, and 2030. 

“We are pleased to be working with Nexans on these important projects,” said Pierre Boyde, Enshore 
Subsea CEO. “Our experience in shallow water operations will be invaluable in delivering these 
installations responsibly. We are also making targeted investments in both specialist installation and 
trenching assets to support the work ahead and look forward to collaborating closely with Nexans and 
TenneT in the preparation phase.” 

Nexans was awarded the three EPCI turnkey projects as part of its long-term partnership with TenneT, 
the transmission system operator driving the expansion of Europe’s renewable energy infrastructure. 
The Wadden Sea projects follow on from the announcement of Enshore Subsea’s contract win for the 
export cable installation on the Inch Cape Offshore Wind Farm in March 2025, and Enshore’s ongoing 
works on the Senegal Power Compact Project for client MCA-Sénégal II.
