Sofia offshore wind farm, the first ever offshore wind project for the Leonardo da Vinci cable-laying vessel

<p style="text-align:justify;"> </p> <p style="text-align:justify; line-height:28px;">Located 195 km from the nearest point on the UK’s North East coast, the 1.4 GW Sofia offshore wind farm, sited on the shallow central area of the North Sea known as Dogger Bank, is RWE Renewables’ largest single offshore wind project under development so far, as well as the farthest from shore. Once it becomes operational in 2025, it will be able to generate enough power to supply over 1.2 million homes with renewable electricity.</p>

<p style="text-align:justify;"> </p> <p style="text-align:justify; line-height:28px;">In recent years, Prysmian Group heavily <strong>invested in products and technologies</strong> to support the <strong>transmission network expansion</strong>, and <strong>P-Laser</strong> — our <strong>100% recyclable and high-performance cable technology</strong> able to reduce CO<sub>2</sub> emissions by 40% — is a great example of this. P-Laser is the Group’s solution for the <strong>energy transition.</strong></p>

<p style="text-align:justify;"> </p> <p style="text-align:justify; line-height:28px;">To further strengthen Prysmian commitment towards the energy transition, the Projects BU has launched a new brand strategy able to deliver clear messages to all the Group’s stakeholders and meet the industry’s new challenges. The turn-key <strong>submarine power</strong> and <strong>extra high-voltage underground cable systems</strong> will be branded “<strong>Powerlink. A Brand of the Prysmian Group</strong>”, so as to differentiate them and raise the visibility of one of the Group's businesses with the greatest added value and technological content.</p>
