Paris, France
- July
19,
2023 – In a historic
first, Nexans, a world leader in the design and manufacturing of
cable systems and services, has been awarded the major contract
valued at €1.43 billion for the section of the EuroAsia
Interconnector that connects Greece and Cyprus. As a critical part
of a broader project to connect the grids of Greece, Israel, and
Cyprus, the 525kV high voltage direct current (HVDC) cable will be
the longest and deepest interconnector in the world with a bi-pole
length of 2x900 km, and will run across the Mediterranean Sea floor
at depths of over 3,000 meters. Subsea HVDC Mass Impregnated cables
will be manufactured in Nexans’ facilities in Halden (Norway) and
Futtsu (Japan) and will be installed by the state-of-the-art cable
laying vessels Nexans Aurora and Nexans Skagerrak.
The EuroAsia Interconnector will exchange up to
1,000 MW among the three nations with the capability of increasing
to 2,000 MW, the equivalent to 3 million households’ average
electricity consumption, and will end the energy isolation of
Cyprus by creating an energy highway between Europe and Asia. Pole
One is expected to be completed in 2028 and Pole Two in 2029.
“This record-breaking project demonstrates our
capacity to innovate and push the limits of electrical transmission
and distribution to meet an ever growing global need. This is
a crucial step on the path to a carbon-free economy. Nexans’ global
electrification strategy is playing a key role in the world’s
journey to a net zero future and we are excited that we have been
selected to bring the development of the EuroAsia Interconnector to
life”, stated Christopher Guérin, CEO of Nexans.
The interconnector has been designated as a
Project of Common Interest (PCI) by the European Union which will
allow the project to benefit from accelerated planning and
permitting, lower administrative costs, and public participation.
To qualify as a PCI, a project must also contribute to the European
Union’s energy and climate goals, and as a result, much of the
electricity being shared will be from renewable and decarbonized
sources.
IPTO, Transmission System Operator of Greece,
has been providing technical and operational capacity to the
project ensuring the successful implementation.
“We are proud that after 12 years of hard work
the world’s longest and deepest subsea HVDC electricity
interconnector built by Nexans will put Cyprus on the world energy
map, while also ending the energy isolation of Cyprus, the last
non-interconnected EU member state, and Israel. The EuroAsia
Interconnector Israel-Cyprus-Greece electricity interconnector is a
leading European project of common interest PCI 3.10 that ends the
energy isolation of Cyprus and Israel, creates security of supply,
significantly reduces the CO2 emissions, and serves the “Green
Deal” of the European Commission”, said Nasos Ktorides, CEO of
EuroAsia Interconnector.
The parties expect formal clearance of the Greek
and Cypriot energy regulators to intervene in due course.
Nexans is pushing the boundaries of its strategy
and keeps expanding into new and important markets, as it is the
case with Nexans’ recent awards including the 2GW Frame Agreement
with TenneT with breakthrough 525 kV offshore cable technology and
the Celtic Interconnector connecting France and Ireland. The Group
is leading the way in connecting parts of the world with the
highest renewable energy potential to locations with the greatest
demand for electricity. From energy generation and transmission to
distribution and usage, Nexans’ solutions cover the full
electrification value chain to connect the world’s renewable energy
sources and ensure electricity can be delivered to all corners of
the world securely, reliably and efficiently.
