The P-Laser 525KV cable system, which tested to have "better electrical performance and a higher material integrity for HVDC in comparison to traditional XLPE-insulated cables", is calculated to carve out around 10% per transmitted MW.

"This is a significant and important new technology that shapes the progress of HVDC in the cable industry and reconfirms once again our undisputed leadership in driving technological innovation within the sector," says Prysmian senior vice president for energy projects Massimo Battaini.

"This advanced technology [will help] our customers engaged in developing, extending and upgrading their power grids, while seeking to reduce environmental impacts with solutions that provide them with superior system performance and cost benefit."
