From countries, to cities, to homes. On land and under the seas Prysmian is the industry leader bringing power and communications to the world. As the demand for both continues to soar and industries move steadily towards more renewable and sustainable energy sources, Transmission System Operators (TSOs) are increasingly engaged in developing, extending and upgrading their power grids.

We’re the strategic partners for our TSO customers, supporting the development and production of transmission grids, and helping to facilitate the bulk movement of electrical energy from the site of generation to electrical substations. Making innovation a cornerstone of our work, and R&D a constant investment, we offer both HVAC and HVDC cable systems for power transmission for both land and submarine connections.

Within our UK Power Grids business our team of experienced and highly skilled High Voltage Cable Technicians are deployed to undertake Jointing and associated works on the High Voltage cables systems that form a significant component of the UK’s energy grid. This could be maintenance of the current network or assisting with the installation of new energy sources.
