Nexans Wins Major Contract for Nexans Low-Carbon Cable Supply in Italy
Nexans has secured a major contract for the Nexans Low-Carbon Cable Supply in Italy, delivering 6,000 km of low- and medium-voltage power distribution cables to a leading Italian utility. The project demonstrates Nexans’ continued leadership in sustainable manufacturing and its role in advancing Europe’s energy transition.
Powering Italy’s Decarbonized Electrification Goals
The cables will be produced at Nexans’ advanced facility in Battipaglia, Italy, which uses 100% certified low-carbon aluminum. Depending on the product type, this innovative material can cut greenhouse gas emissions by 35% to 50%.
Over the next 16 months, Nexans will supply cables designed for underground power lines—systems that offer greater durability and resistance to extreme weather events. These improvements will help Italy’s energy network remain stable even as climate challenges intensify.
Nexans at the Core of Europe’s Energy Transition
“Nexans stands at the heart of decarbonized electrification in Italy and across Europe,” said Elyette Roux, Vice President of Power Distribution Cables and Accessories at Nexans. “This agreement underscores the shared commitment of both companies to advancing the global energy transition.”
Strengthening Efficiency with ULTRACKER DRUMS Technology
In addition to cable supply, Nexans will provide its ULTRACKER DRUMS solution. This smart logistics system enables the utility to manage cable deliveries efficiently through real-time geolocation powered by edge-computing technologies.
The system offers several advantages, including:
-
Real-time shipment tracking and follow-up
-
Remote monitoring and theft detection
-
Management of residual cable length
-
Streamlined collection and reuse of drums
These digital tracking features help utilities improve efficiency, reduce losses, and maintain better project control.
Reinforcing Sustainable Energy Infrastructure
With the implementation of low-carbon materials and smart delivery tools, Nexans continues to lead the move toward a more sustainable electricity infrastructure in Europe. This initiative supports both Italy’s decarbonization goals and Nexans’ broader mission of connecting communities through safe, efficient, and eco-conscious technologies.
