What just landed
Prysmian Group Baltics AS has released two product‑specific EPDs for low‑voltage aluminum power distribution cables. The declarations cover AXPK‑PE 4G95 1 kV and AXPK‑PE 4G150 1 kV T800, issued in March 2026 by EPD Norway using NPCR 027 Part B for Electrical Cables and Wires. These are single‑product EPDs, not broad family rollups, which helps specifiers compare exact part numbers with confidence.
Why it matters for projects
Public and private tenders across the Nordics and the EU prefer products with third‑party verified EPDs. Teams that show ready‑to‑use, program‑operator EPDs avoid conservative default factors that can penalize embodied‑carbon calculations and slow approvals. In short, cables with an EPD stay in the conversation longer, and pricing is not the only lever left on the table.
A quick look at the portfolio fit
Prysmian Baltics is a regional hub producing power and telecom cables from Keila for construction and infrastructure customers. Its AXPK‑PE 1 kV line is a common workhorse for outdoor, plough‑down installs, so starting with 4G95 and 4G150 hits widely used cross‑sections that specifiers actually pull through on jobs.

Competitive lens
Closest peers in this category already play the transparency game. NKT A/S has dozens of current cable EPDs with EPD Norway across low and medium voltage ranges. Nexans lists a large set of cable EPDs under PEP Ecopassport and INIES that cover both LV and MV product families. That means Prysmian Baltics is not just catching up, it is aligning with how bids are being won in its neighborhood. The takeaway for sales is simple, bring these two EPDs to every LV package conversation.
Program operator choice, on point
Publishing with EPD Norway is a pragmatic pick for Nordic‑region specs since the operator is well recognized across the market and aligned with EN 15804. For teams new to operators, this primer is a good orientation on what EPD Norway brings to the table (EPD Guide, 2025).
Make the most of the momentum
Two fast wins to amplify impact:
- Align bid kits. Pair the AXPK‑PE 4G95 and 4G150 EPD PDFs with data sheets and cable reel schedules so estimators can drop them into submittals in minutes.
- Plan coverage. Map which remaining AXPK‑PE sizes drive 80 percent of LV revenue and stage follow‑on EPDs against that list. Family‑level harmonization of LCA inputs keeps later work smooth and comparable.
Visibility check
We could not find direct EPD download links on the Prysmian Group Baltics website as of March 26, 2026. Regional Prysmian pages point buyers to EPD Norge for the full library, which is useful but your local sustainability page should defintely host or link these new declarations for one‑click access. Better visibility shortens the time from award to install, and it prevents last‑mile swaps when compliance questions pop up mid‑tender.
The takeaway for spec and sales
Prysmian Group Baltics AS has entered the transparency arena with targeted, product‑specific EPDs for two high‑demand LV cables. Competitors already use EPDs to win in LV and MV, so this debut adds real signal in a noisy bid room. Keep the momentum going, expand coverage to the top‑selling sizes, and make the documents easy to find. That is how an EPD turns into repeat specs without adding friction.
