General – Cables
Prysmian has finalised three contracts worth in aggregate around €5 billion with Amprion, for two offshore grid connection systems — BalWin1 and BalWin2 — and the underground cable project DC34.
This package deal is the largest in value and in km of cable ever awarded to Prysmian. It includes in aggregate approximately 4,400 km of ±525 kV HVDC cables and DMR (Dedicated Metallic Return) cables, of which around 3,400 km are land cables and 1,000 km are submarine cables.
The three projects are part of Germany’s overall plan to install 70 GW of offshore wind energy by 2045 and will support the transmission of the energy generated in the North Sea to consumers in the Western and Southern regions of the country.
