Nexans Wins 100 Million Euros Power Cable contract for the London Array Project, the World's Largest Offshore Wind Farm

PARIS, December 14 - Nexans, the worldwide leader in the cable industry, has won a
contract worth approximately 100 million Euros to design, manufacture and
supply the high voltage (HV) subsea power export cables that will connect the
London Array wind farm to the UK grid.

The London Array wind farm is being installed on a 233 km2
site located around 20 km off the UK coast, in the Thames Estuary.
Construction is taking place in two phases: the first phase of 630 MW,
consisting of 175 turbines, is expected to be completed and generating in
2012; the future second phase will add capacity to bring the total to 1,000
MW and will supply enough power for around 750,000 UK homes.

The power export cable contract comprises the design,
manufacture and supply of four 150 kV XLPE submarine power cables to be laid
in parallel, each 53 to 54 km in length. Nexans will deliver two of the
cables in 2011, and two in 2012, all being delivered in single continuous
lengths from Nexans' factory in Halden. The cables will also incorporate
fibre optic elements manufactured at the Nexans factory in Rognan, Norway. In
addition, the contract also includes the cable accessories such as repair
joints and terminations.
