Contract Details
Description
Prysmian Group cites the France–United Kingdom IFA1 (also known as IFA 2000) HVDC interconnection among the high‑voltage submarine and onshore cabling projects it has completed in France. This indicates that Prysmian manufactured and installed high‑voltage power cables for the cross‑Channel IFA1 link, providing both submarine and land (onshore) cable sections required to connect the Sellindge and Les Mandarins converter stations. The company’s role related to the construction phase of the interconnector, delivering the HVDC cable system that underpins the 2,000 MW ±270 kV link and supports reliable bi‑directional power exchange between the British and French transmission networks.
