Taihan Secures 181.6 Billion KRW Turnkey Contract for Anma Offshore Wind Power Project, Marking Major Progress in Korea’s Offshore Wind Market
- Proven Full Turnkey Competence in
Submarine Cables: From Design to Production, Transport, and Installation
- To Be Manufactured at the Recently Completed Dangjin Submarine Cable Plant 1; Installed by Korea’s Sole CLV, “PALOS”
- Extensive Experience and Track Record from Successive Offshore Wind Projects
- Expanding 640kV HVDC Production Infrastructure to Prepare for the “West Coast Energy Highway
Taihan has once again demonstrated its comprehensive competitiveness in the submarine cable sector by winning a large-scale offshore wind contract.
On August 4, Taihan announced the signing
of a turnkey contract to supply and install over 100km of inter-array submarine
cables for Korea’s largest offshore wind development, the Anma Offshore Wind
Power project. The contract, valued at approximately KRW 181.6 billion (VAT
included), runs until the end of 2028.
The Anma Offshore Wind Power project
involves constructing a 532MW wind farm on the west coast of the Anma
Archipelago in Yeonggwang-gun, Jeollanam-do, covering an area of 83.9 million
square meters. Anticipated annual output is 1,400GWh—enough electricity to
power 1.4 million people each year.
For this project, Taihan will oversee the
entire turnkey process, including the design, manufacturing, transportation,
and installation of inter-array cables, which link turbines and connect
turbines to offshore substations. As wind farms scale up, cable volumes grow
commensurately.
All submarine cables will be produced at
the recently completed Dangjin Submarine Cable Plant 1. For cable laying
operations, Taihan will utilize “PALOS,” Korea’s only cable laying vessel
(CLV).
Previously, Taihan participated in key
domestic offshore wind projects such as Yeonggwang Nakwol and Southwest
Offshore Wind, accumulating technological expertise and project execution
capabilities. The “PALOS” vessel was deployed for the Yeonggwang Nakwol
project, proving its outstanding performance on Korea’s West Coast.
A Taihan spokesperson commented,
“Leveraging our submarine cable competitiveness built since 2009, Taihan is
achieving rapid results in Korea’s offshore wind segment. 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.”
To meet fast-growing domestic and international demand, Taihan is steadily strengthening its production and installation capacity. Submarine Cable Plant 1 will supply both inter-array and export cables for offshore wind, and, as of July 16, Taihan has approved investment in Submarine Cable Plant 2, capable of producing 640kV HVDC and 400kV HVAC cables. Construction on Plant 2 is set to begin this year, with operations targeted for 2027.
