The scope includes supply and installation of submarine HVDC power cable, a critical component of a statewide transmission corridor intended to increase renewable energy integration. This RFI is for information‑gathering and procurement planning only; it does not constitute a solicitation to bid. • Project: HVDC submarine cable supply and installation for the CIPLink corridor. • Procurement type: Pre‑qualification and Request for Information (RFI). • Geographic scope: Statewide, Alaska (submarine cable likely in Cook Inlet). • No specific deadline, award date, or contract value disclosed. • Vendors must demonstrate capability to manufacture, transport, and install high‑voltage submarine cable. • AEA may use responses to develop future solicitation documents.

Budget estimate

$50,000,000 – $200,000,000

No contract value is disclosed. Based on comparable HVDC submarine cable projects, total contract values typically range from tens of millions to a few hundred million dollars, depending on cable length, voltage level, and installation complexity. Assuming a mid‑size Alaska deployment, a reasonable estimate would be between $50 million and $200 million. Factors influencing the final amount include cable length (potentially 50‑150 mi), voltage rating (±500 kV), seabed conditions, and logistics for remote Alaskan sites.
