Nexans expands wind turbine power cable deal with Vestas
Nexans has signed a two-year deal to provide Vestas Wind Systems with power cables for onshore wind turbines in Europe, the US and China.
The deal for the WindLink medium voltage (MV) and low voltage (LV) cables extends Nexans’ role as a global supplier for Vestas, and will see a new resident engineer programme with Vestas.
This programme will see Nexans engineers working in Vestas teams to reduce the overall cost of delivering renewable energy from wind turbines and reduce design and delivery times.
