Prysmian secures a €460M contract to build a submarine power cable connecting Italy and Tunisia, enhancing clean energy initiatives.
(Reuters) -Italy's cable maker Prysmian has won a contract to build a submarine power cable connecting Italy and Tunisia, it said on Friday in a statement.
The contract, awarded by tender of Italy's power grid operator Terna and the Tunisian electricity grid operator STEG under the Elmed Project, could reach a value of around 460 million euros ($536.59 million), subject to certain conditions, Prysmian said.
The power line will go from the Partanna electrical substation in Sicily to the Mlaabi substation on the Tunisian Cap Bon peninsula.
"The interconnector will benefit both countries and support the global shift toward cleaner energy," Prysmian's EVP Transmission BU Raul Gil said.
