Lake Como’s Submarine Power Grid Cable Installation

Описание: Lake Como’s Submarine Power Grid Cable Installation project, undertaken by SITE SpA and E-Distribuzione, represents a significant leap forward in energy distribution. Located in the picturesque setting of Lake Como, Italy, this initiative has replaced an ageing subglacial power cable and paved the way for a more reliable and sustainable energy supply for the local community.

Over 60 years ago, when ENEL was still the National Electricity Authority, an ambitious project was conceived to create an alternative route for power distribution that would be both efficient and minimally invasive to the community and the environment. The idea was to lay a 15,000 Volt (15 kV) power cable from Tavernola to Punta Geno, with underground sections and a subglacial stretch. This forward-thinking vision has now come full circle with the recent project.

The collaboration between SITE SpA and E-Distribuzione has replaced over 1 kilometre of historic power cable resting on the lake’s bottom with a state-of-the-art cable provided by TRATOS CAVI SPA, a global leader in cable manufacturing. This endeavour signifies a substantial investment in the Como region, ensuring a reliable and sustainable energy supply for the surrounding community. In the event of a fault, this revamped power grid will be able to reroute power directly from the primary substation at Como Nord in Maslianico to the eastern shore of the lake, guaranteeing uninterrupted service.
