Power networks - Subsea

Power demand is continuously growing together with the need of increasing reliability of power networks. HV submarine power cables are crucial to avoid blackouts by increasing the redundancy of the power grids and diversifying the energy mix.

Subsea power cables play a key role in the penetration of renewable energies into the transmission grids. They are also important links for islands which can be connected to the main grids to secure their energy supply, in addition to reducing their CO2 emissions by limiting the power generation from thermal power plants.
