Prysmian Group to present a full range of cable systems for the power industry
at MEE 2012
The range on display will include P-Laser, an innovative and sustainable cable solution for
power distribution
Prysmian Group, world leader in the energy and telecom cables and systems
industry,
will showcase its state-of-the-art technologies at MEE 2012, the biggest event in
the Middle East for the electrical industry, that will take place in Dubai from February 7th to 9th
(stand 3G30, Hall 3).
The participation at MEE 2012 represents, for the Prysmian Group, the first official event
presence in the Region after the recent merger between Prysmian and Draka that has led to the
creation of the largest cable maker in the world, a stronger group even more focused on
fast-changing customer needs, with an extended footprint in more than 50 countries. The
Middle East, where the Group has already carried out several strategic power cable projects, is a
key area for the Company’s expansion strategy, especially in the Extra High Voltage underground and
submarine cable systems market.
Among the several projects awarded, the high-profile development that better represents the
key role played by the Prysmian Group in the region is the 400 kV power transmission system for
TRANSCO that will connect the Bahia and Saadiyat Grid Stations,in Abu Dhabi. The project
consists in providing engineering, manufacturing, installation and commissioning of the 400 kV
cable system and related network components. It can be classified as the largest 400 kV underground
cable system in the region – triple circuit route of 25 km for a total of 230 km of extruded
insulation cable - and the largest EHV XLPE cable system in the world (in terms of contract value)
ever awarded to a single supplier. Execution is currently in progress.
The Group’s product portfolio at MEE 2012 will focus on a full range of state-of-the-art
power cables including HV and EHV underground and submarine cable systems for applications such as
interconnections between power grids, links between natural or artificial islands and the mainland,
and connections to, or between, offshore oil production and wind power generation facilities.
Prysmian Group will also be presenting P-Laser, the first high performance eco-sustainable
Medium Voltage cable for power distribution grids. The new product is characterized by an
innovative production process and “zero-gas technology” that contributes to increase energy
efficiency and to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. To complete the available portfolio on display
there will be cable solutions for the Oil, Gas and Petrochemical industry, including innovative
specialties such as Drylam™ and Airguard™ Cable System (with enhanced features and reduced
environmental impact, specifically designed for critical environments), FP® fire resistant cables
and Umbilicals.
Achievements and actions, again demonstrate Prysmian Group’s leading position and the
validity of the Group’s know-how and technologies in the development of state-of-the art power
cable systems and the commitment to support the development of smarter and greener power grids
worldwide.
