The whole turnkeyproject will be executed bya consortium of Prysmianand Siemens.[Left-to-right: Mike Smith, Kelly Ferrisand Ray Williams.Low voltage energy cable productionSuperior Essex Energy Inc., adivision of Superior Essex Inc., hasbegun commercial production ofits first product offering of lowvoltage energy cables. The initialproduct portfolio includes lowvoltage 300V and 600Vinstrumentation cables for controlsystems, audio, intercoms, energymanagement, and alarm controlsand low voltage 600V controlcables for industrial, utility power,or station control circuits. Thisfirst energy product line encompasses18 AWG through 10 AWGand multiple combinations of insulationand jacket materials,including PVC/PVC,PVC/Nylon/PVC, PE/PVC/PVC, and XLPE/PVC.“Through our energy cable product line, we are committed to helping our customersachieve their objectives and enhance their overall business by combining our tradition ofexcellent product value with superior customer service. This initial product launch is onlythe beginning of a plan to be a full line supplier to the energy market,” Lindsay Allen,Vice President of Marketing, tells WIP.The manufacturing plant location for these new products is based in Tarboro, NC, USA,and is ISO 9001:2008 registered and is utilizing state-of-the-art equipment for cable production.Customers of Superior Essex Energy Inc. will also benefit from a flexible manufacturingprocess that provides short lead times for made-to-order products.Superior Essex is expanding on the success ofLS Cable & System, a worldwide leader in theglobal power cable market, to become a producerfor the energy industry in NorthAmerica.

SHAREWATCHChina’s big spending plansMore than 100,000 MW of old U.S. coal-fired power plants will continue to operate until2042 rather than using the latest ultrasupercriticals instead, explains WIP’s Chris Hopkins.China is pushing the U.S. off theworld's centre stage. This transitionis clear when one analyzes thepower generation plans.In the 2010-2020 timeframe, China willoutspend the U.S. on new generators byUS$550 billion. But they will gain 496 GWof generating capacity compared to only14 GW in the U.S. These are the newconclusions in the McIlvaine Fossil &Nuclear Power Generation: WorldAnalysis & Forecast.Industrial production and energyconsumption are directly proportional.California will continue to limitconstruction of new generators within thestate, but will buy enough goods fromChina to fund generation increases in thatcountry.China will build more coal generationfacilities in the decade than existed in theU.S. at its peak.The U.S. will invest US$30 billion inenvironmental controls and life extensionof its existing coal-fired power plants, butwill be handicapped by the inefficiency ofthese power plants.They will burn 20% to 30% more coal perkWh than will the ultrasupercritical plantsoperating in China and Europe. The priceof coal is slated to rise substantially inthe coming decade. Since coal is thelargest component of generation cost, thisinefficiency will be increasingly costly.The U.S. has shale gas which will replacemost natural gas as fuel for gas turbinesin the coming years. Nevertheless, therewill be only modest investment in newcombined cycle gas turbine plants through2020. The long term EIA outlook is for gasto grow from 24% of the fuel used forpower generation in 2010 in the U.S. to 27percent in 2020. In the meantime, coalwill fall from 45% to 39%.It is clear that more than 100,000 MW ofold U.S. coal-fired power plants willcontinue to operate for the next 30 yearsor more.
