during the year, the prysmian Group consolidated its support
for the development of new intelligent networks by joining
the energy lab foundation's Smart Grids laboratory. this
organisation promotes research and innovation in all areas
of the energy sector, working with six laboratories focused
on such topics as renewable energies, smart grids, energy
efficiency and access to energy in developing countries.
the objective of this partnership is to further intensify the
Group's already strong commitment to the development of
intelligent solutions related to cables, network components
and value-added services.
the Group actively partners with utilities on the world's
largest projects for the production and distribution of
energy. in this context, a complete range of cables and
advanced solutions has been developed, with a view to
making smart grids more reliable and efficient, ensuring
that they function properly in all circumstances, and
preventing black-outs, breakdowns and damage to
network components. with the introduction of high-
tech products and solutions for utilities in the areas of
risk prevention, smart maintenance, load management
and environmental impact, prysmian has taken a
further important step towards the future of the energy
sector.
