Prysmian, the world renowned company in the energy and telecom cable systems industry, has finalized three contracts worth in aggregate around €5 billion with Amprion, one of the pioneering European TSOs, for two offshore grid connection systems — BalWin1 and BalWin2 — and the underground cable project DC34. The contracts, which are now added to Prysmian’s order backlog, follow the selection of Prysmian as the preferred bidder in August 2023. milestone for Prysmian This package deal is the largest in value and in km of cable ever awarded to Prysmian This package deal is the largest in value and in km of cable ever awarded to Prysmian. It includes in aggregate approximately 4,400 km of ±525 kV HVDC cables and Dedicated Metallic Return (DMR) cables, of which around 3,400 km are land cables and 1,000 km are submarine cables. "The three contracts with Amprion are an important milestone for Prysmian as they underline once again the trusting cooperation between the two companies. We are glad to actively contribute as a reliable partner to the energy transition," commented Hakan Ozmen, EVP Prysmian Transmission Division. Germany’s overall plan "We have secured the necessary cable resources for three important energy transition projects. Contracts like the ones with Prysmian are essential in order to achieve our offshore expansion targets. For us, this is a major step towards project success," said Dr. Hendrik Neumann, CTO of Amprion. The three projects are part of Germany’s overall plan to install 70 GW of offshore wind energy by 2045 and will support the transmission of the energy generated in the North Sea to consumers in the Western and Southern regions of the country. industrial heart of Germany BalWin1 and BalWin2 each will transmit up to 2 GW of offshore wind energy, produced in areas 9 and 10 of the German North Sea, to the grid connection points, thus supporting the energy transition in the industrial heart of Germany. In addition, DC34 — as part of the Rhein-Main-Link — will connect the substation in Lower Saxony to a second substation in the federal state of Hesse to transmit up to 2 GW of wind energy to consumers in the Rhine-Main metropolitan area.

Prysmian, the globally renowned company in the energy and telecom cable systems industry, announces the launch of its revolutionary Sirocco Extreme 864f microduct cable, setting a new standard for innovation in the field. This ground-breaking cable showcases world-record diameters and fiber densities for blown microduct cables. Sirocco Extreme 864f microduct cable features an impressive 864 fibers within a 9.8mm diameter, providing an unparalleled fiber density of 11.5 fibers per mm2. It is installable into a 12mm duct, pushing the boundaries of what is possible in the telecom cable systems industry. Sirocco Extreme 864f microduct cables Sirocco Extreme microduct cables employ the BendBrightXS 180µm single-mode bend-insensitive fiber Prysmian’s Sirocco Extreme microduct cables employ the state-of-the-art BendBrightXS 180µm single-mode (ITU-T G.657.D, G.657.A2) bend-insensitive fiber, ensuring compatibility with existing G.652 fibers and readiness for evolved systems. Ian Griffiths, Global R&D VP, Telecom Business at Prysmian, said “Microduct cables have become a popular choice for future-fit applications, such as Prysmian unveils innovative breakthrough with Sirocco Extreme 864 fibers long haul Datacenter interconnection, metro and FTTx networks. They enable rapid deployment and provide future proof scalability, and their small footprint also provides sustainability benefits, due to the use of less raw materials.” BendBrightXS 180µm single-mode bend insensitive fiber He adds, “Sirocco Extreme microduct cables offer the best available dimensions on the market, as they utilize Prysmian’s BendBrightXS 180µm single-mode bend insensitive fiber, the only true 180µm fiber available on the market today.” Ian Griffiths continues, “The extreme fiber count and reduced diameter of the Sirocco Extreme microduct cables make installation faster and more cost effective.” Incorporate Prysmian’s PicoTube technology The Sirocco Extreme cables incorporate Prysmian’s PicoTube technology Available in fiber counts ranging from 96 to 864 and conforming to international standards for optical and mechanical performance, the Sirocco Extreme cables incorporate Prysmian’s PicoTube technology, making them up to 25% smaller than previously available microduct cables. This makes it possible to install more fibers into congested duct space and enables the use of smaller ducts for new installations, resulting in lower installation costs and the use of less raw materials. Reduce carbon and environmental footprints Prysmian’s Sirocco Extreme microduct cables not only provide cost savings to telecom network owners and builders, but also enable them to reduce carbon and environmental footprints. By offering reduced diameters and increased fiber densities, Prysmian goes beyond its value chain and continues to demonstrate its commitment to environmentally conscious solutions that avoid emissions. The Sirocco Extreme product enhancements demonstrates the Group's dedication to responding to evolving market needs, offering a scalable solution that is high-density, physically compact, and easily deployable for future-fit solutions.
