The
Energy sector
comprises the following business areas:
•
Utilities
- Prysmian designs, produces and installs
high and ultra-high voltage cables and systems for
underground and submarine power transmission directly
from generating stations and offshore wind farms to
the primary distribution grids. The solutions available
include leading-edge turnkey submarine cable systems,
with installation at up to depths of 2,000 metres using
the Giulio Verne, one of the world's largest and most
technologically advanced cable-laying ships. In addition,
via Global Marine Energy and the Cable Enterprise,
another cable layer, the Group offers high valued-added
services for the creation of submarine energy links. These
range from project management to the installation,
joining and protection of cables, especially within
offshore wind farms. In this area, the Prysmian Group's
technologies cover the cables needed by wind turbines,
as well as those used to link the various turbines to each
other and to the shore. With regard to power distribution,
the Group produces medium-voltage cables and systems
for joining industrial and residential structures to the
primary distribution grids, and low-voltage cables for
power distribution and the cabling of buildings. The
range of products is completed by network accessories
and components for joining cables and other network
components.
•
Industrial
- The integrated cabling solutions proposed
by the Group represent the most complete and
technologically advanced response to the needs of a wide
variety of industrial sectors.
·
Renewables
- Active in the wind and solar energy
markets, the Prysmian Group creates links for wind

instrumentation and control cables; special DHT
(Downhole Technology) cables, such as cables for
the control of drilling equipment, power cables
and conduits for hydraulic fluids; multifunctional
umbilical cables for the transmission of power,
telecommunications, fluids and chemical products
that, together with high-technology, flexible pipes
and conduits for the offshore lifting of oil, enable
the Group to offer a complete range of SURF (Subsea
Umbilical, Riser and Flowline) products and services
to operators in the sector.
·

industry-specific cables and components that meet
the highest performance, wear resistance and safety
standards.
·
Specialties and OEM
- These include cable systems
for various industry-specific applications, including
trains, aircraft, ships, port systems, cranes, mines,
the nuclear industry, defence and the electro-
medical sector.
•
Trade & Installers
- Cables and systems for trade
distributors and installers, used in the cabling of offices
and for the distribution of electricity within commercial
and residential buildings. The range of products,
considered among the most advanced and complete in
the world, is supplemented by fire-resistant cables that
generate low emissions of gas and toxic fumes.
•
Other
- Products, semi-finished items and raw materials
included in the manufacturing process, sometimes
produced by Prysmian Group companies.
