Nexans Wins Philippines Grid Contract for MVIP Project
The Nexans Philippines grid contract MVIP marks a major step in strengthening the country’s energy infrastructure. Nexans has secured a turnkey contract worth over €100 million to support a more reliable and unified national power grid.
Nexans Philippines Grid Contract MVIP Project Overview
The project comes from the National Grid Corporation of the Philippines (NGCP). NGCP aims to connect the three main grids—Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao—into one integrated system.
Through the Mindanao-Visayas Interconnection Project (MVIP), the country plans to improve grid stability and support growing electricity demand.
High-Voltage Submarine Cable Technology
Nexans will supply a 350 kV high-voltage direct current (HVDC) submarine cable system. The system uses mass-impregnated (MI) technology and operates in water depths of up to 650 meters.
To ensure efficient delivery, Nexans will use its global manufacturing network:
- Production in Futtsu, Japan at Nippon High Voltage Cable Corporation
- Additional manufacturing in Halden, Norway
- Installation by the C/S Nexans Skagerrak cable-laying vessel
This approach improves both efficiency and quality.
Supporting Energy Demand Growth
Electricity demand in the Philippines continues to rise. Over the past 15 years, consumption has increased by nearly 80%. In 2017 alone, usage exceeded 94,370 GWh.
As a result, projects like MVIP play a key role in strengthening long-term energy reliability.
Strengthening Regional Partnerships
Nexans continues to expand across Southeast Asia and supports major infrastructure projects in the region.
