TenneT Germany is supporting the Frequensea Decommissioning Tool as a new Development Sponsor, helping to advance the technology towards offshore deployment.
The Frequensea Decommissioning Tool is being developed to support the efficient recovery of subsea cables while reducing disturbance to the seabed. TenneT Germany’s involvement brings the practical perspective of an offshore transmission system operator with extensive experience in subsea power cable infrastructure.
Upon successful completion of the testing programme at Deltares, TenneT Germany will evaluate the tool’s potential for the future decommissioning of offshore cables in the North Sea.
TenneT Germany joins two existing Development Sponsors: offshore energy contractor DEME and cable handling systems specialist Subsea Cable Assets (SCA). Together, the three sponsors bring valuable perspectives from grid operation, offshore installation and subsea cable activities to the further development of the technology.
With TenneT Germany becoming a Development Sponsor, Frequensea takes another important step towards qualifying the Decommissioning Tool for future offshore deployment and exploring its potential to support the efficient recovery of subsea power cables in the North Sea.
