The Prysmian Group has announced an agreement with National Grid UK to modernize the UK electricity grid. The company, which has pledged to support the strengthening of the network, will supply medium voltage cables through its subsidiary in the United Kingdom for a minimum of three years.
Agreement between Prysmian and National Grid UK
The agreement is part of Prysmian's Research and Development strategy, which focuses on strengthening the network and implementing innovative solutions to improve its stability. The company has developed asset monitoring systems and grid improvement solutions to meet the growing demand for electricity..
Grid modernization is an important step in the energy transition, since it will allow more electricity to be distributed and will contribute to the expansion and renewal of the electrical infrastructure. the lot of medium voltage electrical cables will be produced at the Prysmian plant in Wrexham, in north wales, and supplied to the UK grid to meet growing demand for electricity.
Prysmian is committed to developing a smarter and more sustainable infrastructure, with a focus on the integration of renewable energy sources. The company wants to support the creation of a greener and more advanced network by using innovative cable technologies to ensure higher performance, reliability and sustainability.
Juan Mogollon, Executive Vice President of Prysmian Group Energy, has highlighted the importance of a more reliable and intelligent transmission and distribution infrastructure to integrate renewable energy sources.
Prysmian is considered the best supplier of medium voltage cables and has worked closely with National Grid in the UK.. The company is a key supplier of cables of all voltage levels in the UK market., supplying key projects such as the North Sea Link, Viking Link, IFA2 y Western HVDC Link.
Electric Cables in the Improvement of the Electric Network
Cables play a crucial role in improving the electrical network. They provide a reliable and secure connection for the transmission of electrical energy from the source to the end users.. Besides, high-quality cables allow greater energy efficiency and a reduction in energy losses in transmission. The cables also contribute to the stability and security of the electrical network, helping to prevent unplanned outages and ensure a constant supply of power to users.
Modern cables are designed to withstand higher loads and to operate in extreme conditions., allowing greater flexibility in the planning and design of the electrical network. This allows power companies to improve grid efficiency and capacity, which in turn allows better customer service.
Another important aspect is the ability of the cables to support the integration of renewable energy In the net. With the growing demand for sustainable energy and the need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, cables play a key role in the transmission of renewable energy from production sources to end users.
