Prysmian secures Adriatic Link submarine cable project from Terna

Sunday, September 10 2023

General – Submarine Interconnection

Prysmian Group has been awarded a new contract worth around €630 million by Terna Rete Italia, the Italian power grid operator (TSO).

The Adriatic Link project includes the design, supply, installation, and commissioning of a HVDC submarine interconnection which will contribute to de-carbonise Italy’s energy system, thus reinforcing Italy’s role as the Mediterranean energy hub.

The High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) bipolar cable line will allow a transmission capacity of up to 1,000 MW and will increase the exchange of energy between the central-southern and central-northern areas of Italy, increasing the safety, efficiency, and resilience of the entire national electricity transmission grid.

The route, running for a total of approximately 250 km, will be made up of two submarine cables with a length of approximately 210 km across the Adriatic Sea. Prysmian will also provide two underground cables of approximately 40 km connecting each landing point to the regional’s substation.
