Cables for Australia's Wind Energy Sector

As Australia continues its transition toward net-zero emissions, the demand for clean, renewable energy has never been more urgent. Wind power—both onshore and offshore—is a cornerstone of this shift, with major energy providers and developers moving rapidly to expand capacity. As traditional industries like oil, gas, and coal decline, the need for reliable, high-performance technology to support renewable infrastructure has soared.

Üntel, a trusted global cable manufacturer, is no stranger to this evolving energy landscape. With over 50 years of experience and a portfolio of more than 15,000 cable types, Üntel is well-positioned to meet the rigorous demands of Australia’s wind energy sector. Their cables are already proven in some of the world's toughest industrial environments—making them ideally suited to the harsh and variable conditions common in Australian wind projects.

Supporting Australia's Wind Turbine Infrastructure

Wind turbines present unique operational challenges—from exposure to extreme temperatures and high winds, to mechanical stress and vibration. Cables must be durable, flexible, and resistant to torsion, electromagnetic interference, and hydraulic oil—all while delivering consistent power and signal performance.

Üntel’s engineering and R&D team has developed an extensive range of certified cable solutions for each key area of a wind turbine:
