The stated goal of the project is to enable an efficient transfer of power from areas where renewable energy is generated to where it is needed, which will help Australia meet the local emissions reduction targets set by the Australian Government.
Under the contract, Prysmian will design, test, supply, and install a high voltage direct current (HVDC) cable system. The system consists of 320 kV single-core cables with XLPE insulation, covering both submarine and land sections. Prysmian will also provide a fully integrated permanent monitoring system for the interconnector.
