HV underground in Australia
Submarine in the Baltic Sea
Ausgrid, a public utility in the state of
New South Wales in Australia, selected
Prysmian for a high voltage underground
cables for the ‘North Shore cable upgrade’
project, which comes on the back of the
separate
Engadine
contract. The projects
are part of Ausgrid’s network upgrade
programme, aimed at replacing cables
and equipment installed 40 years ago.
Germany’s grid operator 50Hertz Offshore
GmbH chose Prysmian for a €730 million
project involving the construction of high
voltage submarine cables to connect
the West of Adlergrund offshore wind
farm cluster in the German Baltic Sea to
electricity grids on the mainland. The cable
will run along a route of about 90km to
connect wind farms 40km north-east of
Rügen Island with north-east Germany.
