PRYSMIAN WINS A FRAMEWORK AGREEMENT FROM ALLIANDER TO STRENGTHEN THE DUTCH POWER GRID

Prysmian has been awarded a framework agreement from Alliander for the supply of medium and low-voltage power cables for the development and modernization of the Dutch electricity grid. The award covers an eight-year period and could be worth up to approximately €500 million.

Prysmian was awarded this agreement to supply Alliander over this multi-year period as the Netherlands is expanding, reinforcing and future-proofing its electricity distribution network, while also integrating the adoption of renewable energy within the grid.

Sustainability-driven innovation to unlock modernized power grids 

Prysmian stood out in the award process for its sustainability-driven innovation and its local Dutch manufacturing footprint. Prysmian will make use of its proprietary P-Laser technology, which is a fully recyclable solution, together with conventional XLPE solutions for the insulation of the cables. It will also see an enhancement in the use of recycled materials such as recycled copper, low carbon and partly recycled aluminum and recycled PVC in low voltage cables. Transparency will also be enhanced through raw material passports, while full type-testing coverage is in place for all cable types, ensuring compliance, reliability and long-term performance.
