Prysmian Group Secures Major Offshore Wind Contracts in the U.S.
Theย Prysmian Groupย has secured two majorย Prysmian U.S. offshore wind projectsย worth nearlyย $900 million. These projects mark an important step in the companyโs plan to strengthen its position in the American renewable energy market.
Vineyard Wind: Powering Connecticutโs Clean Grid
The first contract, valued at aboutย $300 million, supports theย Vineyard Windย initiativeโanย 804 MW Park City offshore wind farmย developed byย Avangrid Renewablesย andย Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners.
Prysmian will design and installย HVAC 275 kV three-core submarine cablesย featuring XLPE insulation and single-wire armoring. These cables will connect the wind farm directly to Connecticutโs power grid. Production will take place at the companyโs plants inย Arco Felice, Italy, andย Pikkala, Finland. Meanwhile, advanced vesselsโLeonardo da Vinciย andย Ulisseโwill handle installation. Delivery and commissioning are scheduled forย 2026.
Commonwealth Wind: Expanding Massachusettsโ Renewable Energy
Theย Commonwealth Wind (CW)ย project, valued at aroundย $580 million, is even larger. It includes up to three submarine export links that will connect theย 1,200 MW wind farmย to theย Massachusettsย grid.
To support this effort, Prysmian will build aย new cable manufacturing plantย at Brayton Point in Somerset, Massachusetts. Once a coal-fired power site, the area will now become an anchor for U.S. renewable energy production. The companyโs ongoingย Prysmian U.S. offshore wind projectsย reflect its commitment to local investment and sustainable growth.
Brayton Point Facility: Creating Jobs and Local Value
The upcoming Brayton Point facility represents a major step in localizing cable production. Once construction begins, it could createย more than 200 jobs. This facility will also shorten supply chains and reduce production times for future wind projects.
Additionally,ย CommonWealth Magazineย reported thatย Avangrid Renewablesย encouraged Prysmian to open the plant by committing to future orders, further supporting Prysmianโs long-term U.S. strategy.
Strengthening Offshore Wind Leadership
โThese new projects confirm Prysmianโs strong role in advancing renewable energy in the United States,โ saidย Hakan Ozmen, Executive President of Prysmian Group. โWith the continued support of Massachusetts and our project partners, weโre ready to expand our U.S. operations and help lead the nationโs clean energy transition.โ
As a result, Prysmian strengthens its North American portfolio, adding to major projects such asย SOO Green HVDC Link,ย Neptune,ย TransBay,ย Hudson River, andย Empire Wind. Together, theseย Prysmian U.S. offshore wind projectsย highlight the companyโs leadership in delivering reliable, high-capacity renewable power solutions.
