Prysmian Energy Transition

Prysmian Group | Energy transition - White paper 2021 12 | German HVDC cable project Prysmian’s decade-long effort to engineer a more sustainable cable for the energy transition came to fruition last year with P-Laser cable technology being selected for two out of the three awards for the German HVDC cable project’ energy projects, consisting of three ±525 kV underground DC cables systems. These massive three-part interconnectors deliver clean electricity from the North Sea region - where clean wind energy is generated - to cities and factories hundreds of kilometers away in the south - where energy is consumed. Prysmian will supply 2,300 kilometers of energy cables, representing around 44% of the total amount. Of that, 1,200 kilometers will be the P-Laser, the first 100% recyclable, eco-sustainable and high-performance cable technology. P-Laser, a 100% recyclable cable P-Laser is the first 100% recyclable, ecosustainable, high-performance cable technology based on HPTE (High Performance Thermoplastic Elastomer). With a solid history inMV application, this is a fully qualified high-performance insulation system that has evolved over the years in a comprehensive HVDC development programof rigorous testing and extensive trials. P-Laser is suited for the highest voltage levels delivering enhanced thermal performance and high intrinsic reliability that enablemore flexible and sustainable solutions, such as optimized construction with reduced trench widths. It is fully recyclable, and with increased productivity and 30% lower CO2 emissions in production, has much higher environmental credentials compared to more conventional technologies.
