Hydro Group to work on Wave Hub project

4 February 2010


Wave Hub is a marine renewable infrastructure project being developed by the South West Regional Development Agency (SWRDA). It is situated on the seabed in some 50m of sea water approximately 16km off the coast of Cornwall and connected to the National Grid via a subsea cable.

Hydro Group has been sub-contracted by JDR Cable Systems to provide a new high voltage connector for the marine renewable project which is being funded by the South West RDA, UK Government and the European Regional Development Fund.

The Hydro Renewable Connector (HRC) from Hydro Group connects wave or tidal power generation units to heavy armoured seabed cables. The current design is rated at 12kV and future product development will increase the operating voltage to 33kV.
