Nexans has signed a subcontract with Hellenic Cables, in consortium with Asso.subsea, to deliver the 110 kV cable system for the Corinth-Kos HVDC interconnection.
The project will strengthen the connection between the Dodecanese islands and the Greek mainland, supporting a more resilient and integrated electricity system while contributing to Greece’s long-term energy transition.
The 1 GW, 320 kV interconnection comprises approximately 1,260 km of subsea cable and 30 km of land cable, making it one of the most ambitious power transmission projects in the Mediterranean region.
As part of the project, Nexans will deliver the 110 kV cable system, a critical component of the HVDC link that enables the safe and reliable operation of the interconnection. Project-related activities on Nexans’ MI cable production lines, as well as a seabed survey, have been initiated and will contribute to utilizing these production lines starting end of 2026 throughout 2027 and to mid 2028.
“This project reflects the growing need for high-voltage transmission infrastructure to connect regions, strengthen power networks and support electrification,” said Pascal Radue, EVP PWR-Transmission at Nexans. “We are proud to contribute our expertise to this landmark interconnection project that will play an important role in Greece’s electricity infrastructure. The contract also supports significant activity across our manufacturing operations and further reinforces Nexans’ leadership in the high-voltage transmission market.”
