When your high-voltage project depends on safe, reliable connections, you need specialists who get every connection right. Reynard supports offshore and onshore energy projects with specialist high-voltage services. Whether you need termination and testing, ready-terminated and tested HV cables, maintenance, fault-finding, or rapid-response support, our teams provide the craftsmanship to keep your project moving. Since 2011, we have helped connect thousands of offshore wind turbines. Today, we bring that same precision and practical experience to substations, industrial connections and battery energy storage systems onshore. We assemble and test ready-terminated and tested HV cables at our facility in Nieuw-Vennep (near Amsterdam). This reduces the amount of specialist work required on site or offshore, helping you save valuable installation time and reduce project risk. These cable solutions also support the move among TSOs and DSOs toward standardised, modular substations and grid connections, helping accelerate large-scale upgrades to electricity networks.
