Nexans has completed the manufacturing and factory acceptance testing (FAT) of 100 kilometers of subsea cable for the second electrical interconnector between Malta and Italy, with the cable now ready for load-out and installation.
The IC2 interconnector will consist of a new 122-kilometer-long, 225 MW HVAC electrical cable interconnection between the Terna substation at Ragusa, Sicily, and the Enemalta terminal station in Maghtab, to be laid in parallel to the existing HVAC cable link , which Nexans also delivered in 2015.
