Prysmian Group Secures Major Offshore Wind Contracts in the U.S.
The Prysmian Group has secured two major Prysmian U.S. offshore wind projects worth nearly $900 million. These projects mark an important step in the company’s plan to strengthen its position in the American renewable energy market.
Vineyard Wind: Powering Connecticut’s Clean Grid
The first contract, valued at about $300 million, supports the Vineyard Wind initiative—an 804 MW Park City offshore wind farm developed by Avangrid Renewables and Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners.
Prysmian will design and install HVAC 275 kV three-core submarine cables featuring XLPE insulation and single-wire armoring. These cables will connect the wind farm directly to Connecticut’s power grid. Production will take place at the company’s plants in Arco Felice, Italy, and Pikkala, Finland. Meanwhile, advanced vessels—Leonardo da Vinci and Ulisse—will handle installation. Delivery and commissioning are scheduled for 2026.
Commonwealth Wind: Expanding Massachusetts’ Renewable Energy
The Commonwealth Wind (CW) project, valued at around $580 million, is even larger. It includes up to three submarine export links that will connect the 1,200 MW wind farm to the Massachusetts grid.
To support this effort, Prysmian will build a new cable manufacturing plant 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 company’s ongoing Prysmian U.S. offshore wind projects 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 create more than 200 jobs. This facility will also shorten supply chains and reduce production times for future wind projects.
Additionally, CommonWealth Magazine reported that Avangrid Renewables encouraged Prysmian to open the plant by committing to future orders, further supporting Prysmian’s long-term U.S. strategy.
Strengthening Offshore Wind Leadership
“These new projects confirm Prysmian’s strong role in advancing renewable energy in the United States,” said Hakan Ozmen, Executive President of Prysmian Group. “With the continued support of Massachusetts and our project partners, we’re ready to expand our U.S. operations and help lead the nation’s clean energy transition.”
As a result, Prysmian strengthens its North American portfolio, adding to major projects such as SOO Green HVDC Link, Neptune, TransBay, Hudson River, and Empire Wind. Together, these Prysmian U.S. offshore wind projects highlight the company’s leadership in delivering reliable, high-capacity renewable power solutions.
