Hellenic Cables S.A., the cables segment of Cenergy Holdings, has secured a Hellenic Cables Alliander cable supply agreement to deliver medium- and low-voltage power cables for grid reinforcement in the Netherlands. This agreement supports a large-scale effort to expand and modernize the Dutch electricity distribution network.

Long-Term Framework and Production Expansion

The agreement runs for up to eight years (2026–2034). During this period, Hellenic Cables will design, manufacture, and deliver MV and LV cables from its upgraded Thiva facility in Greece.

The Thiva plant now operates with more than double its previous production capacity. It produces MV, HV, and EHV land cables, supporting Europe’s growing demand for electrification infrastructure.

Supporting Major Dutch Grid Investment

The Hellenic Cables Alliander cable supply agreement forms part of Alliander’s largest cable procurement program. This initiative aims to secure long-term supply capacity for grid expansion.

In parallel, TKF and Prysmian have secured additional contracts. The total tender covers between 56,000 km and 84,000 km of MV and LV cables, with combined agreements valued at approximately €1.6 billion.

Flexible Supply Model Meets Rising Demand

The agreement follows a call-off framework structure, which allows supply volumes to scale based on project needs. Therefore, this model provides flexibility while ensuring reliable cable availability over time.

At the same time, Alliander continues to increase investment as demand for electricity grows. The company is installing record volumes of cable and expects to deploy tens of thousands of kilometers of additional infrastructure in the coming decade.

Strengthening European Market Position

The Hellenic Cables Alliander cable supply agreement reinforces the company’s role as a trusted partner for European network operators. Since 2012, Hellenic Cables has invested more than €800 million in production upgrades, including its Thiva plant and Corinth submarine cable operations.

Overall, this agreement highlights growing demand for grid modernizationrenewable energy integration, and long-term cable supply partnerships across Europe.
