Prysmian Group, world leader in the energy and telecom cable systems industry, announces today — following the announcement of the award on Monday, 21 June — the finalisation of the contract with SOO Green HVDC Link for the supply and installation of high-voltage direct current cable systems for this first-of-its-kind transmission project to be installed underground along existing railroad rights of way.

The 2,100-megawatt interregional project, considered the first link in a national clean energy grid, will connect two of the largest energy markets in the US, delivering abundant, low-cost renewable energy to population centers from Chicago to the mid-Atlantic region.

As announced, cable production for the project is expected to start in 2023, in Prysmian's Abbeville, South Carolina facility.
