Interconnectors

OVERVIEW

The vital link in
global transmission

Interconnectors are essential for transferring and integrating energy into countries' electrical grids. These reliable and technologically advanced cable solutions are fundamental to the broader development of regional energy transmission infrastructures.

We deliver comprehensive and fully managed Engineering Procurement Construction and Installation (EPCI) projects

At Prysmian, we don’t just offer interconnector cable system solutions; we collaborate closely with our clients. Leveraging our extensive engineering, manufacturing, and turnkey installation capabilities, along with a comprehensive project management approach, we deliver cost-effective, high-power cable connections tailored to their needs. This collaborative methodology distinguishes us in the industry and positions us at the forefront of the interconnector sector. By pushing the boundaries and achieving new levels of performance and economic efficiency in our HVDC cable systems, we provide our clients with significant advantages as they develop, extend, and upgrade their power grids, making them feel valued and integral to the process.

Prysmian is proud to offer the most comprehensive portfolio of high voltage direct current (HVDC) products and solutions in the industry. Our range includes paper-insulated solutions, such as MI and MI-PPL, as well as extruded cables featuring P-Laser and XLPE insulation systems. This diverse selection allows us to address a wide array of needs and challenges. 

 

Our commitment to innovation is continuous, as demonstrated by our current efforts to expand available voltage levels. We are developing an 800 kV P-Laser capability to enhance our existing 600 kV solutions. Additionally, we are actively researching systems and methodologies that will enable cable connections at greater water depths, reaching up to 3,000 meters.

 

One of our greatest strengths is our ability to provide a comprehensive package for our customers. With our end-to-end service, extensive manufacturing resources, installation and engineering capabilities, and a fleet of world-class cable-laying vessels, we are a single-source provider offering complete EPCI turnkey cable system solutions tailored to meet our customers' needs. Our integrated value chain sets us apart, providing our customers with a hassle-free single point of contact for all their project requirements and relieving them of the burden of managing multiple vendors.

Interconnectors are essential for enhancing the security of electrical energy supply. They provide lower-cost energy from one country to another, improving efficiency in power usage and balancing supply and demand over larger geographic areas. Additionally, interconnectors play a vital role in the integration and development of renewable energy sources, such as the regional advancement of offshore wind farms, which are often located far from major demand centers.

 

The offshore production of oil and gas plays a vital role in the energy infrastructure of many countries.
