Asia’s First 2 GW 500 kV EHVDC XLPE Submarine Cable Project: Engineering and Execution

To meet the growing global electricity demand driven by population growth and extensive industrialization, the expansion of energy infrastructure is indispensable. To address global warming and achieve net-zero emissions targets, this expansion must prioritize the development and deployment of renewable or green energy sources. For efficient transmission of electricity from generation to end users, direct current (DC) transmission is the most suitable technology, particularly for high power levels and very long distances, where alternating current (AC) is less efficient. The state-of-the-art extra high voltage (EHV)
