Offshore wind farm Rentel's cable connecting to Belgium's mainland repaired after 4 months.

Elia has completed the repair of a cable connecting the Rentel offshore wind farm to Belgium's mainland, four months after the cable failure. A 400-meter cable section was attached to the platform and connected to the existing cable under the seabed. The wind farm's power output was capped during high winds, but another offshore and onshore wind energy production record was still broken in the first few months of the year. The repair work was complex, involving the meshed offshore high-voltage grid and the offshore power hub (MOG).
