Under the contract, Taihan will handle the design, manufacturing, transportation, and installation of the cables. The cables will be produced at Taihan’s newly established Dangjin Submarine Cable Plant 1 and installed using South Korea’s only cable-laying vessel, Palos. Taihan has prior experience in this field, having supplied inter-array cables for domestic offshore wind projects like Yeonggwang Nakwol and Southwest Offshore Wind, with Palos deployed for the former.
A Taihan spokesperson stated: “By consistently strengthening our turnkey capabilities, we aim to contribute to supply chain stability for Korea’s offshore wind expansion and the West Coast Energy Highway, while also enhancing export competitiveness as we actively join growing offshore wind projects in Europe and Asia.” This reflects Taihan’s commitment to supporting South Korea’s renewable energy goals and expanding its presence in global markets.
To meet growing demand, Taihan is constructing a second Dangjin plant, set to begin operations in 2027, which will produce 640 kV HVDC and 400 kV HVAC submarine cables. This expansion will enhance the company’s capacity to support large-scale offshore wind projects both domestically and internationally.
The Anma offshore wind farm project strengthens South Korea’s renewable energy infrastructure, contributing to sustainable energy development and regional energy initiatives like the West Coast Energy Highway. Taihan’s role underscores its expertise in delivering critical infrastructure for the global transition to clean energy.
