Cable maker Nexans' early 2026 announcements highlight innovative projects, including a world record depth installation and a new state-of-the-art vessel handover.
Cable manufacturer Nexans has released several announcements from the start of 2026, highlighting the company's recent achievements and future projects.
In January 2026, Nexans announced a new executive committee structure aimed at enhancing its leadership in electrification. This strategic organizational shift intends to streamline company operations and meet the growing global demand for power grids.
In February, the company reported securing a seven-year contract with the French network operator Enedis. This reinforces Nexans' role as a key partner in developing France's energy infrastructure. In March, Nexans set a world record by installing a 525 kV MI HVDC subsea cable at a depth of 3,000 meters, demonstrating the company's technical capabilities in demanding offshore applications.
The month of May saw multiple significant updates. Nexans' AmpaCity research center has been transformed into a cutting-edge DC microgrid, advancing the development of sustainable energy solutions. Additionally, the company officially received its new cable-laying vessel, the CLV Nexans Electra, significantly boosting its offshore project capacity. In May, Nexans also detailed the RHODÉ project, focusing on pioneering floating high-voltage direct current (HVDC) solutions.
These releases underscore Nexans' commitment to innovation, sustainability, and strengthening energy infrastructure worldwide.
