Submarine Power Cable Links in the Venetian Lagoon

 Submarine Power Cable Links in the Venetian Lagoon

 
After having built the previous high voltage submarine cable link connecting Venice, Murano and Mestre, Energy and telecom cable systems company Prysmian Group has now secured a project for submarine power cable links in the Venetian Lagoon. 
 
Prysmian announced that Terna Rete Italia has confirmed a series of additional work that was originally included as an option to be added to the Venetian Lagoon submarine power cable links project, a contract awarded to the group last year following a European bid.
 
The new work scope is worth approximately €20 million and involves the completion of a project aimed at strengthening the high voltage power transmission grid in the Venice area. The project includes a 6 km link, made up of High Voltage Alternate Current (HVAC) 132kV cables. 
 
The cables will be produced in the Arco Felice plant, near Naples. Commissioning is scheduled in 2018.
