In 2023, JDR signed a contract for the development of the Baltic Power offshore wind farm in Poland. The project involves the design, manufacture, and installation of 340 km of both onshore and subsea cables. Located 23 km off the Polish coast, the farm will cover approximately 130 square kilometers and will feature 76 wind turbines, each with a capacity of 15 MW. Once completed in 2026, the farm will generate a total capacity of 1.2 GW, enough to power over 1.5 million households with clean energy. The cables to be produced and installed include 230 kV onshore export cables and inter-array cable components, which will be produced at the Bydgoszcz manufacturing plant. The production and delivery of all subsea cables are scheduled for the end of 2025, contributing to the further development of renewable energy in Poland.

JDR completed the production and delivery of 170 km of aluminium core inter-array cables for the Kriegers Flak wind farm, one of Denmark’s key renewable energy projects. The cables, which were produced at JDR’s Bydgoszcz and Hartlepool facilities, form an essential part of the wind farm’s power transmission infrastructure. Upon completion, the Kriegers Flak wind farm will have 72 turbines, each with a capacity of 8.4 MW, providing 605 MW of power—enough to supply over 600,000 Danish households, representing around 23% of Denmark’s energy needs.

Formosa 1 is Taiwan's first commercial-scale offshore wind energy project, located approximately 6 km off the western coast of Miaoli in the Taiwan Strait. As part of the project, 21 km of inter-array cables, 13 km of export cable, and 16 km of onshore cables were supplied to transmit energy from the wind turbines to the shore. In 2020, JDR and the Bydgoszcz facility produced and delivered the required cables, along with providing accessories, cable installation, equipment assembly, and post-installation support, carried out by a team of 26 technicians on the offshore turbine platforms.

Formosa 1 is a key milestone in the development of the wind energy sector in Taiwan, and it is the first project in the region to enable the commercial production of offshore wind energy. The project achieved a total capacity of 120 MW upon completion of its second phase.

As part of the offshore platform project in Azerbaijan, the facilities in Bydgoszcz and Hartlepool jointly supplied a 33kV fibre optic power cable, 5.5 km in length, along with a Subsea Isolation Valve (SSIV) umbilical for the platform. This project provides the necessary energy infrastructure, supporting production in the region.

The Moray East Offshore Wind Farm is one of the largest renewable energy development projects in the UK, requiring precisely coordinated deliveries and installations. A key component of the project was the supply of 220 kV HV land cables, which were manufactured and tested at the TFKable facility in Bydgoszcz. These cables were then transported to the Scottish coastline using an innovative system of 270 rotating drums, ensuring safe and efficient delivery.

The Moray East wind farm aims to provide low-emission energy capable of meeting the average annual electricity demand of over 950,000 households in the UK. As part of this investment, JDR also supplied accessories for the offshore team responsible for terminations and testing, complementing the earlier delivery of 200 km of 66 kV cables and a range of termination accessories.

Moray East is a significant project, contributing not only to the growth of renewable energy in Scotland but also representing an important step towards sustainable energy transition, supporting the future of low-emission power generation in the region.

JDR was selected to manufacture and supply 66 kV dynamic inter-array cables for the Hywind Tampen project. This project is the first in the world to power oil and gas platforms using floating offshore wind farms, presenting more technical challenges than traditional offshore wind farms with fixed foundations.
2.5 km of 66 kV dynamic inter-array cables connected 11 turbines in a loop, while two static export cables with dynamic ends, measuring 12.9 km and 16 km, were connected to the Snorre A and Gullfaks A platforms. The greater water depth (300 m) required cable accessories specifically designed to withstand higher water pressures. The cables were produced at TFK’s Bydgoszcz facility, and all cables and accessories were supplied from the Hartlepool plant, UK.
The wind power generated by the farm is expected to reduce emissions by 200,000 tonnes of CO₂ and 1,000 tonnes of NOx annually.

Sydney Metro, Australia (2017)

The Kraków-Wielicka plant completed the delivery of 14 km of mining structures type 241.1 and over 40 km of H07RN-F SUB cables for the construction of critical infrastructure for a 33-km tunnel connecting Sydney’s northern and western districts with the city center and international airport. The project was key to improving communication and transportation in one of Australia’s largest cities, ensuring fast and reliable access to urban infrastructure.

REM Tunnel Project (2019)

In 2019, a rapid transit system was under construction in the Greater Montreal area, Quebec, Canada. A CSA-certified cable was required to power the tunnel boring machine. The SHDGC8KV1/0-3CSA-ORG cable was approved and delivered in a short time using air transport.

WestConnex Tunnel (2019)

As part of long-term cable deliveries to the Australian market, mining cables were supplied in 2019 for the construction of a 33 km tunnel in Sydney. A total of 14 km of TYPE 241.1 mining cables and over 40 km of H07RN-F SUB cables were produced and delivered, used both for the construction and wiring of the tunnel itself.

The tunnel connected Sydney’s northern and western districts with the city center and airport.

FW Potęgowo (2019)

In 2019, the annual volume of medium-voltage cables exceeded 1,000 km. Cables were supplied for most projects awarded through the first renewable energy auction, including Poland’s largest project—FW Potęgowo, for which over 550 km of medium-voltage cables were delivered.

Largest Onshore Wind Farm in Poland (2019)

TFKable contributed to the development of Poland’s largest onshore wind farm, with a capacity of 132 MW, in the Pomeranian Voivodeship. In 2019, 215 km of 110 kV cables were delivered. The installation was launched in 2020, generating 420 GWh of electricity annually.
