Nexans Completes Sea Trial for Greece-Cyprus Great Sea Interconnector Project
Nexans has successfully completed a critical sea trial for submarine power cables of the Great Sea Interconnector (GSI) between Greece and Cyprus. Conducted in waters west of Sicily, Italy, the trial confirmed the system's operability at depths of 3,000 meters, addressing technical feasibility concerns. The GSI is set to be one of the longest and deepest high-voltage subsea interconnectors globally, utilizing specialized technology. The trial involved simulations of installation conditions and testing of the 525 kV HVDC cable system under extreme depths.

Nexans has completed a successful sea trial for the submarine power cables of the Great Sea Interconnector (GSI), planned between Greece and Cyprus. The trial, conducted west of Sicily, Italy, confirmed the operability of the system at depths of 3,000 meters.
This milestone is crucial for the GSI, expected to be one of the longest and deepest high-voltage subsea interconnectors in the world. The test involved simulating installation conditions for the 525 kV HVDC cable system, with extensive electrical testing and inspections performed post-retrieval. Nexans confirmed the cable's ability to withstand the demanding conditions expected along the planned route.
