Peninsula‑Baleares 2 is a planned ±250 kV MI HVDC bipole (2 × 200 MW, 400 MW total) island link between mainland Spain and Mallorca, with a total route length of about 406 km (approximately 389 km subsea and 16 km onshore). Prysmian has received a Letter of Award from Red Eléctrica to design, install, test and commission two 250 kV MI single‑core HVDC cables covering both the submarine and land sections of this interconnection.
Contract Details
Description
Prysmian received a Letter of Award from Red Eléctrica, the Spanish transmission system operator, for the Peninsula‑Baleares 2 interconnection, the second electricity link between mainland Spain and Mallorca. Under this planned contract, valued at more than €0.5 billion, Prysmian will design, manufacture, install, test and commission two 250 kV mass‑impregnated (MI) HVDC single‑core cables, together with associated fibre‑optic cables for telecommunications and monitoring. The turnkey scope covers both the subsea and land sections of the link, creating a new 400 MW bipole connection between the Spanish mainland and Mallorca. The project is intended to reinforce the security and quality of electricity supply in the Balearic Islands and ensure demand coverage, while leveraging MI technology similar to that used on the first Peninsula‑Baleares interconnection. Contract signing was expected by the end of 2024.
