LS Cable & System has secured a $41 million turnkey contract from Tenaga Nasional Berhad (TNB) to deliver a submarine power cable system connecting mainland Malaysia to Langkawi. This LS Cable & System Langkawi submarine cable project will improve grid reliability and support rising energy demand.
Turnkey Submarine Cable System for Island Connectivity
LS Cable & System will manage the project on a full turnkey basis, including system design, cable manufacturing, and offshore installation. The company will work with LS Marine Solution to handle marine construction and installation activities.
The project will deploy a 132 kV submarine cable system to strengthen power supply to Langkawi, a key tourism destination. As a result, the island will benefit from improved energy stability and infrastructure resilience.
Building on Proven Subsea Experience
The LS Cable & System Langkawi submarine cable project builds on the company’s earlier success with the first Langkawi link. That system connected Perlis to Langkawi with a 26–28 km submarine cable, significantly improving reliability.
The new installation is expected to span approximately 26 to 30 km, depending on final routing. It will also operate at 132 kV, adding both capacity and redundancy to the network.

Supporting Future Infrastructure Growth
LS Cable & System secured the contract against strong international competition. The company leveraged its engineering expertise and subsea installation experience to win the project.
Looking ahead, LS Cable & System plans to use this project as a reference for future grid infrastructure developments in Malaysia. In particular, it aims to strengthen its position for upcoming projects such as the West Coast Energy Highway.
By combining manufacturing expertise with marine construction through LS Marine Solution, the company continues to deliver integrated offshore power transmission solutions across Asia.
