Terna S.p.A. Rete Elettrica Nazionale awarded Prysmian a €300 million turnkey contract to supply the new extra‑high‑voltage submarine power link across the Strait of Messina, involving engineering, manufacturing, installation and commissioning of two 380 kV AC cable circuits between the Villafranca Tirrena (Sicily) and Scilla (Calabria) substations with a total transmission capacity of 2,000 MW. The system, comprising around 260 km of cable (including approximately 38 km submarine and 5.4 km on land), is intended to strengthen the interconnection between the Sicilian and mainland Italian grids and was expected at the time to be completed by the end of 2013.
