everything in-house and it is important to understand projects as being made up of three parts — manufacturing, laying and monitoring & maintenance,” stated Raul.
He continued: “On manufacturing, we have dedicated Drammen plant to inter-array cables, we have doubled our capacity for export cables at Pikkala and we are offering the market 66kV for the biggest projects now on the way. On laying, we have invested in our vessel fleet — the Giulio Verne, The Cable Enterprise and the Ulisse
INDUSTRY MILESTONES Among the various offshore windfarm subsea connections completed, the Group has set a number of industry milestones…
» Sylwin1, the highest-ever rated system for VSC technology with a
offshore windfarm and the largest VSC system
» IFA2, a ±320kV DC interconnection to connect Tourbe in France to

» Borwin2 project (North Sea), the first ever 800 MW connection to an
FURTHER DEVELOPMENT “We are further developing our cable trenching and protection capabilities and also combining a full monitoring set with a complete maintenance service in a unique and effective solution - Power Link Cable Solutions - able to provide complete and effective management of subsea cable faults, from detection to recovery that dramatically lowers downtime and considerably reduces costs.”
COMMITMENT Prysmian presently holds a 15% market share in offshore wind cables and systems, which the Group aims to increase to 30-40% in the near future, leveraging on the development of cable manufacturing and installation technologies.
The Group is fully committed to growing further and strengthening its leadership in this industry. Long- term growth perspectives for the industry led Prysmian Group to further strengthen its commitment, with an ongoing investment in 2016-2017 of more than €60 million in its production facilities and installation capabilities.
The Group has also decided to upgrade its UK plant in Wrexham, Wales, to manufacture both 33kV and 66kV submarine cable cores and to develop its offshore logistics hub in Middlesbrough, North East England.
