Successful commissioning of the submarine interconnector CNP-1 in the
Philippines

Prysmian Group, world leader in the energy and telecom cable systems
industry, announces the successful commissioning of the submarine power
cable link to connect Negros and Panay islands in the Philippines. This is
the first stage of the project CNP-1 (Cebu-Negros-Panay phase 1), awarded to
Prysmian Group by the Filipino grid operating company NGCP (National Grid
Corporation of the Philippines). This project is part of a larger
development plan provided by NGCP, to strengthen the Country's power
transmission network.

"Prysmian was honored with the award of this project in December 2014 and it
has been able to execute the whole works in accordance with the delivery
schedule and budget thanks to the close cooperation of NGCP," explains
Massimo Battaini, Energy Projects Senior Vice President at Prysmian Group.

"We at NGCP are very satisfied with Prysmian performance in this project,"
stated Robert Coyiuto Jr.

The CNP-1 cable connection comprises three HVAC (High Voltage Alternating
Current) 230 kV single core cables with XLPE insulation and single wire
armouring along a 22 km submarine route across the Guimaras Strait. Cables
have been produced in the Group's excellence centre for submarine cables in
Arco Felice, near Naples (Italy).

The completion of this important project - the Group's first turn-key
project in the Philippines - re-affirms the Group leading supply position in
supporting the development of power transmission network, throughout the
strategic and high-growth Asia Pacific Region, with milestone projects such
as the Penang Island in Malaysia, the Java-Bali link in Indonesia, the Ha
Tien-Phu Quoc in Vietnam and the Basslink interconnector in Australia.
