Nexans secures subcontract for Corinth-Kos power interconnection

Nexans has signed a subcontracting agreement with Hellenic Cables, which is operating in a consortium with Asso Subsea, to supply a 110 kV mass-impregnated (MI) cable system for the Corinth-Kos high-voltage direct current (HVDC) interconnection project.

The project, valued at approximately 1.5 billion euros, aims to connect the Dodecanese islands to the Greek mainland. The full interconnection is designed with a capacity of 1 GW and a voltage of 320 kV, involving roughly 1,260 kilometers of subsea cables and 30 kilometers of terrestrial cables. This infrastructure is considered one of the largest energy transmission developments in the Mediterranean region.

Production activities at Nexans facilities are expected to support this contract from late 2026 through mid-2028. Pascal Radue, Executive Vice President of Power Transmission at Nexans, stated that the project reflects the growing necessity for high-voltage transmission infrastructure to connect remote areas and support energy transitions.
