at a glance . . .
Celsa Nordic, part of Celsa Group, one of
the most diversified European private
steelmaking groups, is upgrading its
Mo I Rana Norwegian plant, installing a
new Tenova EAF-Consteel®.
Thanks to the installation of the Consteel®
continuous scrap charging technology,
the new EAF will increase productivity by
30% to 900,000 tons per year, although
the existing transformer will decrease
consumption considerably.
In spite of the increase of productivity the
upgrade with the Consteel will guarantee
a big reduction of the environmental
impact.
A new innovative fume dedusting system
has been designed by Tenova for the Mo
I Rana plant in order to further lower the
emissions.

Nexans has recently signed a contract with DONG Energy A/S, Denmark’s largest
energy supplier, to supply a total of 70km of medium-voltage (MV) subsea power
cables for the Danish offshore wind farm Horns Rev 2 to be constructed over the
next two years.
The cables will interconnect the wind turbines with each other, as well as with the
central offshore transformer station, and will be laid in water depths of between 9
and 18m.
In addition to the subsea MV cables in three different diameters, Nexans will also
provide power accessories and installation services. Cables and accessories will
be manufactured in the Nexans plants based in Hanover (Germany) and Halden
(Norway).
Deliveries should start in April 2008, while the installation work should begin in
June 2008. The project is scheduled for completion by summer 2009.
DONG Energy awarded this extensive project to Nexans following the positive
experience with the Horns Rev 1 project, for which Nexans supplied and installed
all the subsea power cables.
For Horns Rev 2, as in the previous project, the Nexans Group will also supply the
high-voltage (HV) subsea cable to connect the wind farm with the Danish onshore
power grid.
