Connecting the world to lead the energy transition

Linking today’s innovations with tomorrow’s power possibilities

 

Renewable energy generation is expected to quadruple by 2030. This is a clear demonstration of the international commitment towards decarbonisation and energy transition.

 

In this rapidly developing climate, Prysmian has a crucial role to play. The company is at the forefront of innovation and adaptation, embracing the new emphasis on renewable energy generation.

 

Our high voltage power transmission cable systems carry renewable energy across continents, enabling the transition to clean, renewable energy worldwide. Our product innovation allows us to supply ever more cost-effective and sustainable solutions and our cable systems form the backbone of your next-generation power grids. These in turn pave the way for a more efficient, interconnected and environmentally responsible energy ecosystem

Our commitment to the energy transition

 

Governments and enterprises around the world have set ambitious “net zero” carbon reduction goals with the aim of reducing the immediate threat of climate change and its unpredictable outcomes. Essential to meeting these goals is the transition from the consumption of fossil fuels to renewable energy sources. 

 

Renewable energy sources, however, present new challenges for established networks. Future energy will be generated across multiple locations all producing electricity without the consistency of traditional power stations. This new landscape of energy generation requires efficient, smart, and robust energy transmission and distribution networks.

 

Interconnectors are increasingly important, allowing for connections between countries and even continents to allow affordable and clean energy to flow across long distances. Such interconnectors play a key role in energy transition: enabling a larger, more integrated, efficient and sustainable electric power transmission system to be established and maintained.

 

The Prysmian subsea interconnectors are made of new, lighter materials and can be installed deeper under the sea than ever before. Our high-voltage DC (HVDC) interconnectors bring power more efficiently over long distances from where the energy is produced (such as offshore wind farms) into the transmission networks. 

 

Once onshore, our Power Grids products and services support the power transmission and distribution networks that deliver electricity from substations to homes, businesses and services across the nation.

An Innovation Leader

Prysmian is an innovation leader in both high-voltage submarine and underground cable system. For underground power transmission, we have designed new ±525 kV HVDC cable systems, qualified with P-Laser and XLPE insulation, with a higher voltage capacity and with large conductor cross-sections to provide optimal technical solutions for more efficient, reliable and eco-friendly power transmission over long distances.

 

In addition, our Research and Development labs have created a submarine cable with new synthetic armour which can be up to 50% lighter than others, enabling Prysmian to perform ultra-deep installations up to 3,000 meters in marine ecosystems previously considered impossible.

Governments and companies around the world have set ambitious “net zero” carbon reduction goals to achieve the transition from fossil fuels to renewable energy sources.

Interconnectors are an increasingly important part of power grids, allowing for connections between countries and even continents to ease the flow of affordable and clean energy across long distances. They are a key part of the energy transition: supporting the implementation of a larger, more integrated, efficient and sustainable power transmission system. Prysmian’s submarine interconnectors are made of new, lighter materials and can go deeper under the sea than ever before. Our high-voltage underground interconnectors can bring power more efficiently over long distances from where the energy is produced (like offshore wind farms) to where energy is consumed..
