With the notice to proceed expected at the end of 2019, Prysmian Group will be responsible for
the design, manufacture, installation and commissioning of an HVAC (High Voltage Alternating
Current) cable system composed of two 220 kV three-core cables utilizing extruded XLPE
insulation. The project requires a total of 134 km of power cables. The submarine cables will be
produced in Prysmian Group’s production facilities in Pikkala, Finland, and  Arco Felice, Italy.
Courtesy of Prysmian Group Installation operations will be performed by the company’s cable laying vessels Cable Enterprise
and Ulisse. Delivery and commissioning of the project are scheduled for 2021.

Prysmian will also provide PRY-CAM permanent monitoring solutions consisting of long range Distributed Temperature Sensing (DTS) and state-of-the-art
Real Time Thermal Rating (RTTR) systems collecting and analyzing data by ways of an artificial intelligence interface, which generates automated alarm
signals if a critical situation is identified.

“This contract reinforces Prysmian Group’s leading position in the submarine cable market and underpins both our continued role and our commitment
to the North American offshore wind sector,” stated Hakan Ozmen, EVP Projects, Prysmian Group.

“The US offshore wind market is now demonstrating a high level of motivation with a promising growth forecast and we are excited to contribute to
realizing this opportunity in the US market,” concluded Ozmen.

Vineyard Wind, owned 50 percent by Avengrid Renewables and 50 percent by funds from Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners, is the nation's first utility-
scale offshore wind energy project. It is located over 14 miles off the coast of Massachusetts. It is scheduled to begin on-shore construction in 2019 and
become operational by 2021.
