JDR invests £130 million in UK cable factory

en.Wedoany.com Reported - JDR Cable Systems has commenced operations at its new factory in Cambois, near Blyth, Northumberland. The £130 million facility, covering 69,000 square meters, was partially funded by the UK government's Offshore Wind Manufacturing Investment Support scheme and has now opened after three years of construction.

JDR will produce 132kV submarine cables for fixed and floating wind farms and other energy projects at its existing UK base in Hartlepool and the new facility, which began construction in late 2022. The first order handled by the Blyth factory is to supply the HyNet hydrogen pipeline and carbon capture network in northwest England.

A JDR spokesperson stated that the commissioning of this high-voltage cable manufacturing facility marks a significant milestone in the company's investment in UK submarine cable production; through its UK factories, including those in Hartlepool and Blyth, JDR is supporting several key energy infrastructure projects, including the previously announced HyNet project.
