Hellenic Cables has signed a long-term framework agreement with Alliander to supply medium- and low-voltage power cables for grid reinforcement projects in the Netherlands. This Hellenic Cables Alliander agreement supports a major national effort to expand and modernize the electricity distribution network.
Long-Term Supply and Grid Expansion
The agreement will run for up to eight years (2026–2034). During this period, Hellenic Cables will design, manufacture, and supply MV and LV cables from its upgraded facility in Thiva, Greece.
The Thiva plant has undergone significant upgrades and now delivers more than double its previous production capacity. As a result, the company can meet rising demand driven by European electrification projects.
At the same time, Alliander has launched its largest-ever cable procurement program to strengthen the Dutch grid. In parallel, TKF and Prysmian have secured additional contracts. Together, these agreements represent an estimated €1.6 billion investment in cable supply.
Flexible Framework Supports Growing Demand
The Hellenic Cables Alliander agreement follows a call-off framework structure, which allows volumes to scale over time based on project needs. Therefore, this model provides flexibility while ensuring consistent access to manufacturing capacity.
As demand increases, Alliander continues to expand its infrastructure. The company has already reported record levels of cable installation. It also expects to install tens of thousands of kilometers of MV and LV cables over the next decade.
Strengthening European Market Position
For Hellenic Cables, this agreement reinforces its role as a key supplier in the European transmission and distribution market. Since 2012, the company has invested more than €800 million in production upgrades, including its Thiva land cable facility and Corinth submarine cable operations.
Overall, the Hellenic Cables Alliander agreement highlights growing investment in grid modernization, renewable energy integration, and electrification infrastructure across Europe.
