Northwest Europe is increasingly struggling with extreme high water due to heavy rainfall and meltwater. Countries such as the Netherlands, Germany and France are seeing alarming water levels that threaten not only nature, but also vital infrastructure such as the electricity grid.

The floods in 2021 in the south of the Netherlands, Germany and Belgium showed how dependent we are on electricity. Without power, everything comes to a standstill: from lighting and communication to water purification and healthcare.

Why invest in underground cable connections?

To make our electricity grid more resistant to extreme weather conditions, a robust underground network is crucial. Cable joints play a key role in this. The LoviSil® cable sleeve uses liquid silicone technology and offers optimal protection against water pressure up to 2 bar (20 meters). This makes the system unique and reliable, even when water levels rise.

Working together on climate-resilient energy networks

Governments and energy companies must work together to make our society less vulnerable. In addition to reinforcing dikes, investing in technological solutions such as LoviSil® cable joints is essential. These components contribute to a stable electricity grid and a secure energy supply, even in times of extreme weather.
