Nexans Cyprus Greece HVDC Project Powers a New Energy Connection
Nexansย has been selected to deliverย 500 kV HVDC Mass Impregnated (MI) subsea cablesย for theย 1,000 MW CyprusโGreece (Crete) Link, part of theย Nexans Cyprus Greece HVDC projectย led byย EuroAsia Interconnector Limited. The initiative will strengthen the energy bridge between Europe and Asia while advancing cleanโpower connectivity.
This milestone reinforces Nexansโs leadership in subsea cable manufacturing and underscores its commitment to sustainable electricity transmission worldwide.
EuroAsia Interconnector Powers the Nexans Cyprus Greece HVDC Project
Theย EuroAsia Interconnectorย ranks among theย European Unionโs Projects of Common Interest (PCI). It connects the power systems ofย Cyprus, Greece, and Israelย using stateโofโtheโart highโvoltage directโcurrent subsea cables and converter stations.
Initially, the link will transmitย 1,000 MW of energy, with capacity to expand toย 2,000 MWย in later phases. Spanning roughlyย 1,208 kilometers, this connection enables bidirectional power transfer that strengthens grid stability and supports renewable power distribution across regions.
Building the Worldโs Longest Offshore HVDC System
Once completed, the CyprusโGreece Interconnector will set world records for length and depth. Nexans will install twoย 900โkilometer biโpole cablesย placed at depths reachingย 3,000 meters.
To meet such extreme underwater conditions, Nexans will use its provenย 500 kV HVDC MI cable technology, the only system verified for ultraโdeep installations. The companyโsย CLV Nexans Auroraย cableโlaying vessel will manage the entire deployment process.
The two power poles are scheduled for commissioning inย 2026ย andย 2028, marking another major step in Europeโs cleanโenergy transition.
Connecting Continents Through Innovation
Through this historic project, Nexans continues advancing cleanโenergy technology and crossโcontinental cooperation. Its innovative approach ensures reliable, highโcapacity power transmission while reducing environmental impact.
Ultimately, the CyprusโGreece subsea connection demonstrates how collaboration and modern engineering can bring renewable electricity safely across continents for generations to come.
