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.
