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.
