Submarine power link in the venetian lagoon

Prysmian Group also built the previous high voltage submarine cable link connecting Venice, Murano and Mestre.

€20 million project, including 6 km link, made up of HVAC 132kV cables.

Terna Rete Italia, Italy’s power transmission operator awarded Prysmian Group a series of additional works, originally included as option, to be added to the Venetian Lagoon submarine power links project, a contract won by the Group in 2016 following a European bid.  The original project included the power connection to the island of Murano, in the Lagoon, and the industrial port city of Mestre. The new works are worth approximately €20 million and involve the completion of the project aimed at strengthening the high voltage power transmission grid in the Venice area. The project includes a 6 km link, made up of HVAC 132 kV cables. The cables will be produced in the Arco Felice plant, near Naples. Commissioning is scheduled for 2018.

HELPING GENOA PORT GROW

Thanks to 35 km of medium voltage cables supplied by Prysmian, the port  of Genoa, the biggest in Italy, will become even larger with the addition  of new docks and the remaking of existing ones. The supply is now complete  and included submarine cables, produced in Prysmian’s Italian plants at Pignataro and Merlino. The products were tailored to the specific requirements detailed by the client, S.I.C.I., an Italian company that operates in the fields of infrastructure and services.

Maurizio Ciantra, Trade & Installers Sales Manager for Prysmian Italy,  pointed out that the project was the outcome of strict cooperation between the engineers and the Group’s production facilities, allowing us to win the contract and fully satisfy the client’s needs.

Energizing Denmark with LV and MV cables

Prysmian Group set to become the leading cable supplier in the Danish market.

Prysmian Group has signed a two-year framework agreement with an option for extension, following a tender by Eniig Forsyning A/S and NRGi. The agreement, worth about €3.2 million, provides for the annual delivery of 300 kilometres of 0.4 kV low voltage cable and 380 kilometres of 24 kV 1-core medium voltage cables.

The agreement also includes the use of the Group’s cable drum tracking system ‘Pry-Track’, that offers an integrated remote monitoring solution. The cables will be used in maintenance and construction projects, developed within the Eniig and NRGi’s supply areas.

The cables will be produced at the Group’s high-tech cable production plants in Europe and delivered from Prysmian Nordics logistics hub, strategically located in Sweden, where  a large range of low and medium voltage cables is stocked. Eniig is a newly formed utility company with 383,000 shareholders and 950 employees. Established as a merger of EnergiMidt,  HEF and Energinord, it is now Denmark’s third-largest utility company. Eniig’s business segments cover the supply and sales of electricity and heat, fibre broadband, gas, street lighting, energy efficiency solutions and renewable energy. Eniig’s supply area extends over approximately a quarter of Denmark’s total surface, namely 10,500 km2, located in Central and North Jutland. NRGi is a consumer-driven utility company that distributes electricity to approximately 220,000 private households and businesses in Aarhus, Djursland, Mols and on the isles of Samsø, Tunø and Anholt.

“We look forward to working with Eniig and NRGi on the maintenance and expansion of their supply networks,” says Brian Rasmussen, Utility Sales Director at Prysmian Denmark. “We are pleased that two of Denmark’s largest utility companies have chosen to co-operate with Prysmian Group, thus emphasising  our position and underlining the company’s strategy of becoming the leading cable supplier in the Danish market.”
