The lights are in Manhattan, the electricity comes from New Jersey
A strategic electrical link that meets Manhattan’s continuous demand for power.
The strategy that inspired this project involved gradually disposing of the power generation plants located in the New York urban area – which are now obsolete, inefficient and environmentally harmful – and replacing them with energy from renewable sources and natural gas.
Prysmian was responsible for every single stage of the project: design, supply and installation of both the underground and submarine transmission cable system, that runs along a total route of approximately 13 kilometres, linking New Jersey’s electricity grid to New York City. The system’s total power transmission capacity is up to 660 MW.
North America is a key market for the Prysmian Group. The underground cables were manufactured in South Carolina: the optical fibre cables were made in Lexington, while most of the high voltage cables were produced in Prysmian’s state-of-the-art factory in Abbeville, the first plant devoted to producing high voltage and very high voltage cables in the US. The submarine cables were manufactured in Italy, at the Arco Felice factory in Naples.
