Governments and industries across the globe are investing heavily in wind, solar, and hydropower initiatives. According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), renewables are set to account for nearly 95% of the increase in global power capacity through 2025, with solar and wind leading the way. At Precision Cables, they recognise that robust, reliable cabling is the backbone of this transformation. Their specially engineered cables are designed to meet the unique challenges posed by renewable energy installations — from the harsh marine environments of offshore wind farms to the high thermal demands of solar plants. “Our mission is to help provide the electrical backbone for a more sustainable world,” says Cathal Grace, Sales Director at Precision Cables. “We understand that the reliability of our cables directly impacts the efficiency and success of renewable energy projects. That's why we have collaborated in conjunction with our strategic supply partners in significant research and development to ensure the products we offer not only meet, but exceed industry standards”. Leading Through Innovation and Collaboration At the heart of Precision Cables commitment is their close partnership with Prysmian Group, the world’s leading cable solutions provider. In 2024, Prysmian made remarkable strides in sustainability, achieving a 37% reduction in Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and a 54% reduction in Scope 3 emissions compared to their 2019 baseline. Their aggressive push toward Net Zero by 2035 — fifteen years ahead of their original target — inspires us to hold ourselves to the same high standards. Prysmian's focus on innovation led to the development of new sustainable products, such as E3X technology, which minimises energy losses and boosts cable reliability, and the launch of E Path, a certification dedicated to environmentally friendly solutions. These advancements are central to the solutions we bring to our customers at Precision Cables. Sustainable Practices at Every Level Sustainability is woven into every layer of their operations.
