(Yicai Global) July 6 -- Ningbo Orient Cable Co. [SH:603606] will purvey submarine cable and related hardware to an offshore wind farm project.
The company clinched the bid for the Dafeng Offshore Wind Farm Project of China Three Gorges New Energy Co. for USD26.5 million (CNY177 million).
The project will generate 10 percent of company revenue this year.
