Cables Monitoring 2025 Registration

 The integration of renewables into the electricity network and the growth of offshore wind are central to the energy transition but rising subsea cable failures have increased replacement and insurance costs, highlighting the need for greater reliability and energy security to meet Levelised Cost of Energy (LCOE) requirements. While international standards for subsea cable systems have expanded to address qualification, testing, and installation, the diverse range of stakeholders and fast-paced development can lead to delays and gaps in best practices. 

Global Underwater Hub’s UK Subsea Cable Systems Forum and its Cable Monitoring Subgroup are at the forefront of driving industry-led improvements in offshore wind, providing a platform that brings industry together to collectively build solutions that overcome the identified challenges.

These initiatives aim to enhance the reliability and performance of subsea power cables through industry collaboration and advanced monitoring technologies, supporting global energy resilience and showcasing UK expertise in this field.

This document proposes an open standard for the selection, installation, and use of cable monitoring systems, addressing areas not adequately covered by existing standards. Compiled by leading industry providers, these recommendations are technology-agnostic and aim to establish best practices for developing new systems, selecting systems for new or existing fields, and responding to data-driven alarms. As an open-source standard, we welcome collaboration and aim to update in line with sector developments and solutions.
