摘要

Prysmian Group will supply cables to NNB Generation Company Limited - a subsidiary of EDF Energy for the twin pressurised water reactor (EPR) at their Hinkley Point C (HPC) site. Hinkley Point C will be the first in a new generation of UK nuclear power stations, marking a significant moment in the revitalisation of the UK's nuclear power industry and will provide a clean, secure and affordable source of electricity for around five million homes. The agreement, worth more than €20 million, includes a total of more than 2.000 km of Medium Voltage, Low Voltage. Instrumentation and Control cables specifically designed for nuclear applications and in compliance with CPR regulations for fire rating. Cables will be manufactured in the Group's plant located in Paron, France, the Group's excellence centre for the development of nuclear cables. Deliveries are planned to begin in 04 2021. This project does not only represent an important step ahead in the UK to secure a diverse energy mix that balances the needs of low carbon emissions, security of supply and affordability for the future, but it is also a milestone for Prysmian in its strategy of pursuing growth in the nuclear market.
