Cenergy Holdings announces that RTE (Réseau de Transport d'Électricité) has chosen Hellenic Cables, its cable division, for the supply of 170 km of 90kV cables, 420 km of 225kV cables, their associated components, as well as the implementation of the assembly of the cable systems for the underground network throughout France.  

This three-year framework agreement (valid for cable deliveries until the end of 2028) supports RTE's strategy to adapt to climate change, develop its network to serve more uses and generate low-carbon electricity while contributing to France's energy transition.

Xavier Piechaczyk, Chairman of the Board of Directors of RTE, said: "Electrification, decarbonisation and further industrial development in France entail major investments in the electricity transmission network in the coming years. In addition to providing the necessary equipment for the energy transition, the partnership we are entering into today with five major cable companies clearly illustrates the value that our investments away from fossil fuels create for French and European industry, while providing economic growth and jobs."

Alexis Alexiou, CEO of Cenergy Holdings, commented: "We are honoured to be part of RTE's ambitious initiative, which not only strengthens France's energy infrastructure, but also highlights sustainable, European solutions for the regional electricity transmission network.  Hellenic Cables is continuously expanding its production capacity to support network development initiatives and remains committed to providing high quality advanced cable solutions that are in line with France's energy transition objectives and RTE's strategy."
