Linking today’s innovations with tomorrow’s power possibilities
Linking today’s innovations with tomorrow’s power possibilities
A four times increase in renewable power capacity is expected by 2030, clearly showing how the world is on a one-way trajectory towards decarbonization and energy transition.
In this changing scenario, Prysmian has a crucial role: the company has positioned itself at the forefront of innovation and adaptation to the new market trends shaping the cable industry, embracing the new emphasis on renewable energy generation. Not only does the Prysmian enable the transmission of renewable energy, but it also enhances the cost-effectiveness and sustainability with new cabling solutions. Our cable solutions are, in fact, the backbone of next-generation power grids, paving the way for a more efficient, interconnected and eco-conscious energy ecosystem.
Our commitment to the energy transition
Governments and companies around the world have set ambitious “net zero” carbon reduction goals to achieve the transition from fossil fuel to renewable energy sources, thereby reducing the pressing threat of climate change and its unpredictable outcomes.
This transition requires an efficient, smart and robust energy grid to meet the unique challenges of managing these discontinuous power sources. Interconnectors are an increasingly important part of power grids, allowing 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.
An innovation leader
Prysmian is an innovation leader in both high-voltage submarine and underground cable systems. 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 armor that can be up to 50% lighter than others, enabling Prysmian to perform ultra-deep installations or up to 3,000 meters in marine ecosystems previously considered impossible.
