Hanwha Solutions, a leading wire and cable manufacturer, has successfully verified the technology for 500kV-class high-voltage alternating current (HVAC) cable materials in collaboration with Chinese cable manufacturers Qingdao Hanhe and TBEA. The technology verification, overseen by TICW, a certification institution affiliated with China's SECRI, rigorously assessed the insulation performance and long-term reliability necessary for extra-high voltage power transmission environments.
This achievement demonstrates Hanwha Solutions' global-level technological capabilities in the field of extra-high voltage cable materials. The company is now actively pursuing certification from KEMA, a globally recognized certification institution, aiming to nearly double its global super extra-high voltage (SEHV) XLPE sales volume by 2026.
In China specifically, sales of extra-high voltage products, including 325kV-class materials, are projected to increase by roughly three times compared to 2025. Hanwha Solutions plans to capitalize on its expanded product portfolio by increasing material supply for various applications, such as power plants, transmission networks, and large-scale renewable energy projects.
CEO Carlo Scalata highlighted the significance of this technology verification, stating it marks a crucial milestone in securing global-level technological reliability for cable materials in extra-high voltage power transmission. He further emphasized that the company will continue to broaden its business opportunities based on this success.
