Prysmian to provide power grids asset management services to RTE

Friday, November 4 2022

General – Grid Management

Prysmian Group has been awarded a contract by France’s transmission system operator Réseau de Transport d’Électricité (RTE) to provide inspection, maintenance and repair services for the submarine export power cable links.

These links connect the three offshore wind farms near the French coast of Normandy that will be linked to the mainland using Prysmian cables.

The wind farms at St. Nazaire, Fécamp and Calvados are among the largest commercial wind farms ever built in France, and their seamless functioning is essential to achieving France’s energy transition goals.

The maintenance services provided by Prysmian will reduce the length of any possible supply disruption arising from a power outage of the wind farms, thus assuring a continuous flow of renewable energy to French homes and businesses. The agreement will last 15 years and enters into effect immediately at the already-completed link of St. Nazaire. It will be then extended to the other two links as soon as they enter into operation.

The contract will cover the three HVAC (High Voltage Alternating Current) 220 kV three-core submarine cables with XLPE insulation and single-wire armouring of the Fécamp (2x18km offshore), Calvados (2x16km offshore) and St. Nazaire (2x34km offshore) wind farms.
