Once complete, the site will become the largest manufacturing facility for offshore high-voltage power cables globally.
The EU’s formal recognition underscores the project’s alignment with continental decarbonization objectives and reflects the strategic criticality of subsea power transmission infrastructure in reinforcing European energy security.
