LS Cable & System will supply some 350km of onshore cables for Orsted's 1400MW Hornsea 2 offshore wind farm off the coast of Yorkshire in England.
The order includes both 400kV and 220kV wires, which are all due to be installed by 2021, the South Korean cable fabricator said.
LS Cable chief executive Roe-Hyun Myeong said: “This contract is meaningful because it continues the trend of supplying cables for new renewable energy projects in Europe, the home of cable business. We hope to expand opportunities for projects in Europe, North America and Asia."
The wires will run between the project's landfall site at Horseshoe Point in Lincolnshire and the onshore substation at North Killingholme.
Substation contractor Balfour Beatty broke ground on the onshore transformer station this summer.
Hornsea 2 will feature 165 Siemens Gamesa 8MW turbines with 167-metre rotor diameters. It is due to be operational in 2022.
