Prysmian Group has signed a new framework agreement with Réseau de Transport d’Electricité (RTE), France’s Transmission System Operator, as partner of the French TSO in its plan of upgrading and developing national power grids.
Prysmian Group will be responsible for supplying, jointing and testing some High Voltage Alternating Current (HVAC) cable systems for underground grid connections from 90 kV up to 400 kV. The framework agreement will cover the period 2021-2023, with two potential optional additional years. The upgrade of the network contributes to the development of smarter and greener power grids, enabling the European Energy Transition.
