Nexans has completed the offshore jointing and the major pull-in operation for an interconnector project looking to connect the the mainland city of Lavrio and the island of Syros in Greece.

ADMIE awarded Nexans a contract worth approximately €111 million to deliver an interconnector between the city of Lavrion on the Greek mainland and the island of Syros.The complete turnkey contract covered the seabed survey, design, manufacturing, installation and protection of a 150 kV HVAC three-core submarine power cable with an internal fiber optical element.

The route extends to 108 km with an expected maximum water depth of 300 m. The submarine cables were produced by Nexans Norway in its Halden plant, while the fiber optical cable was produced in Nexans Norway’s specialised factory in Rognan. The interconnector was installed at water depths up to 300 m by the Maersk Connector, from DeepOcean.

The project of the Cyclades Islands Interconnection in Greece is aimed at ensuring the supply of electricity to the Syros, Paros, Tinos, Mykonos and Naxos islands. It is being developed by Independent Power Transmission Operator S.A (ADMIE) and will see the interconnection of the Cyclades Islands in an effort to reduce the number of the existing power stations operating on fossil fuels.
