Prysmian signs huge deal to provide cables for major U.S. renewable energy project

Prysmian Signs Major Clean Path New York Agreement

Prysmian Groupย has signed aย $952.8 million agreementย withย Clean Path New Yorkย to supply and install advanced power cable systems. This project will become one of theย largest renewable energy transmission developmentsย in the United States.

Expanding Clean Energy Across New York

Theย Clean Path New Yorkย initiative represents anย $11 billion renewable investment. It combinesย 3,800 MW of wind and solar powerย from more thanย 20 generation sitesย with aย 175-mile underground and submarine transmission link. Together, these components will deliverย 7.5 million megawatt-hoursย of clean energy each yearโ€”enough to powerย 1.5 million homes.

This massive project supports New Yorkโ€™s vision to achieveย 70% renewable electricity by 2030. It will also improve grid stability, reduce emissions, and expand access to reliable green energy for millions of residents.

Prysmian Leads Transmission Development

Under this agreement,ย Prysmianย will design, manufacture, and install aย 400 kV high-voltage direct current (HVDC)ย single-core cable system with XLPE insulation. The company will manage the entire processโ€”from construction to commissioningโ€”onceย Clean Path New Yorkย issues its notice to proceed inย Spring 2024.

โ€œWe are proud to help New York reach its renewable goals,โ€ saidย Hakan Ozmen, EVP Projects Business Unit at Prysmian Group. โ€œClean Path New York is not just a large-scale infrastructure projectโ€”itโ€™s a milestone in the North American energy transition.โ€

A Partnership Driving Progress

The project is aย public-private collaborationย betweenย Invenergy,ย energyRe, and theย New York Power Authority (NYPA). These partners aim to modernize New Yorkโ€™s power grid with state-of-the-art transmission systems while supporting local renewable generation.

Ozmen noted that this marks one of Prysmianโ€™s firstย 400 kV HVDC interconnectorsย in the world. โ€œThe agreement strengthens our leadership in both submarine and land cable technologies,โ€ he added. โ€œIt highlights Prysmianโ€™s dedication to building sustainable, forward-looking infrastructure.โ€

Powering New Yorkโ€™s Future

When complete,ย Clean Path New Yorkย will deliver steady, emissions-free electricity to the stateโ€™s most populated areas. The project aligns government goals, renewable investment, and technological innovation to create a model for clean energy transmission nationwide.
