Key Data Set Information
Reference year 2026
Name
38/66 kV Single-core Cu/XLPE/Lead/HDPE power cable
Technical purpose of product or process The declared product is a High-voltage (38/66 kV) 1-core power cable with a nominal cross-section of 400 mm², featuring a stranded circular compacted copper conductor (in compliance with IEC 60228) with swelling powder , insulated with cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) in accordance with IEC 60840 and IEC 60811, screened with semi-conductive layers and a lead sheath, and finished with an outer sheath of high-density polyethylene (HDPE) . The cable is designed for reliable transmission and distribution applications, and a reference service life (RSL) of 20 years under standard operating conditions. Energya Power Cables manufactures this product using 100% renewable energy—94% from wind (Gabal El-Zayt and Zafarana wind farms) and 6% from solar (Benban and Kom Ombo plants).

1This impact category deals mainly with the eventual impact of low dose ionizing radiation on human health of the nuclear fuel cycle. It does not consider effects due to possible nuclear accidents, occupational exposure nor due to radioactive waste disposal in underground facilities. Potential ionizing radiation from the soil, from radon and from some construction materials is also not measured by this indicator.
2The results of this environmental impact indicator shall be used with care as the uncertainties on these results are high or as there is limited experiences with the indicator.
