Middle East: Italian Prysmian seals the deal for the supply of power cables in the context of a landmark HVDC submarine cable project in the Middle East, worth around €220m.
The contract has been awarded to Prysmian by Samsung C&T. The new link will allow bulk-power energy transmission between the converter station in Al Mirfa, in Abu Dhabi mainland, and that on the Al Ghallan artificial offshore island in the Arabian Gulf, located off the Abu Dhabi coast, in the United Arab Emirates.
The project comprises both a subsea route of 124 km of submarine HVDC cables to be installed at a water depth of up to 35 m and a land route of 3.5 km of HVDC land cables. The commissioning of the project is scheduled for 2025. Under the LNTP, Prysmian will perform engineering works, secure manufacturing capacity, and proceed with partial production of the HVDC cables in advance of the full contract sward and notice to proceed (NTP), scheduled for the third quarter of 2022 and remains subject to Samsung C&T receiving its related NTP under the main EPC contract.
