Prysmian Group to supply cables for 2.1 GW SOO Green Renewable Rail transmission project in Iowa and Illinois
Prysmian Group has signed a contract with SOO Green HVDC Link backed by Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners and Siemens Energy for the supply and installation of high-voltage direct current cable systems for the first-of-its-kind transmission project to be installed underground along existing railroad rights of way.
The 2,100 megawatt interregional project, considered the first link in a national clean energy grid, will connect two of the largest energy markets in the US, delivering abundant, low-cost renewable energy to population centers from Chicago to the mid-Atlantic region.
Cable production for the project is expected to start in 2023, in Prysmian's Abbeville, South Carolina facility.
