Description
Nexans was awarded a substantial contract by Swedish transmission system operator Svenska kraftnät for the Gotland Connection project, a new 220 kV HVAC interconnector between Gotland and mainland Sweden. Under the contract, Nexans will manufacture and supply 320 km of high-voltage subsea and onshore cable systems and carry out their installation. The scope covers both submarine and land cable sections needed to strengthen the island’s connection to the national grid and to accommodate rising electricity demand driven by industrial growth and renewable energy projects on Gotland. Cable production will be carried out at several Nexans plants, and the project is scheduled for completion by mid-2030.
