Prysmian Relaunches P-Laser, the Cable for the Energy Transition

Milan (ots/PRNewswire) - SGS Carbon Footprint Certification obtained

P-Laser is the first 100% recyclable cable for power distribution and
transmission that reduces CO2 emissions by 40%

Prysmian Group (MI: PIY), world leader in the energy and telecom cable systems
industry, is relaunching its P-Laser cable, which for ten years now has been
offering innovative technology for power transmission grids, ensuring superior
electrical performance, lower costs and greater environmental sustainability.

P-Laser is the first 100% recyclable, eco-sustainable, high-performance cable
technology based on a zero-emission process that reduces CO2 emissions by 40%.
P-Laser is fully compatible with existing cables and accessories and can boast
more than 50,000 km of cable produced. The P-Laser cable system is based on the
use of a patented thermoplastic material, HPTE (High Performance Thermoplastic
Elastomer), which ensures that the product is fully recyclable, a simplified
manufacturing process and a lower environmental impact than the traditional XLPE
(cross-linked polyethylene). The P-Laser technology offers better electrical
characteristics, and in particular higher performance at high temperatures,
greater intrinsic reliability and greater productivity.

The Group is celebrating this accomplishment with a renewed product image and a
new milestone: its Pignataro Maggiore, Italy production plant has obtained the
Carbon Footprint certification, thus further confirming the environmentally
sustainable and 100% eco-friendly nature of this type of cable even in the
production stage. P-Laser cables are manufactured at a single continuous
production facility and no chemical reactions are required to obtain the strong
stable electrical properties required for MV and HVDC systems, thereby cutting
production times and thus the related power consumption and gas emissions.

P-Laser technology may be applied to power grids, renewable energy projects and
underground and submarine HVDC cable systems - a unique first in the cable
industry.

Prysmian Group thus confirms its commitment to supporting smarter, more
sustainable power grids through its range of innovative cables and technologies.
The Group thus plays a key role in the shift towards a low-carbon economy and
contributes to the transition to smarter, more reliable and more sustainable
power transmission systems.
