66 kV Inter-Array Cable ECA Secured
Hellenic Cablesย signed anย Exclusivity and Capacity Agreement (ECA)ย to supplyย 66 kV XLPE-insulated inter-array cablesย and accessories for theย Hai Long 2 (HL2)ย andย Hai Long 3 (HL3)ย offshore wind projects in Taiwan. The agreement confirms the companyโs role as a key cable partner for this flagship development.
Hai Long: One of Taiwanโs Largest Offshore Wind Projects
Theย Hai Long offshore wind farmย includes two sitesโHL2 and HL3โwith aย combined capacity of 1,044 MW. Together, they form one ofย Taiwanโs largest offshore wind farmsย and support the countryโs long-term clean energy strategy.
A joint venture ofย Northland Power Inc.,ย Yushan Energy Pte Ltd, andย Mitsui & Co.ย is developing the project. The wind farms sitย 40โ50 km off the Changhua coast, in water depths ofย 35โ55 m, where wind conditions are strong and consistent.
HL2 consists of two sub-wind farms:
-
HL2Aย with up toย 300 MW
-
HL2Bย with up toย 232 MW
HL3ย adds anotherย 512 MW, which brings the total planned capacity to more than 1 GW.
Hellenic Cablesโ Scope and Production Schedule
Under the ECA, Hellenic Cables will deliver aboutย 140 km of 66 kV XLPE-insulated inter-array cablesย plus all associated accessories. The company will manufacture these products at itsย Corinth, Greeceย plant, which specializes in high-performance submarine and offshore wind cables.
The production schedule includes two key milestones:
-
Completion forย Hai Long 2ย inย Q1 2024
-
Completion forย Hai Long 3ย inย Q4 2024
This phased approach helps align cable delivery with foundation and turbine installation offshore.

โWe are delighted to have secured Hellenic Cables as our cable manufacturer and to be establishing this cooperation,โ saidย Felipe Montero, Hai Long Offshore Wind Project Director. He noted that Hellenic Cables handles aย critical scopeย for the project and praised the company as aย market leader in submarine cable manufacturing.
