First Subsea Cable Export for South Korea
Notably, this contract marks the first subsea cable export from South Korea. Therefore, it highlights LS Cable’s advanced technology and growing competitiveness in the offshore wind sector.
Although the company has not disclosed the contract value, the deal signals strong potential for future international expansion.
Taiwan’s Renewable Energy Expansion
At the same time, Taiwan continues to invest in renewable energy. The country plans to phase out nuclear power by 2025.
To support this shift, Taiwan has committed approximately $23 billion to develop 5.5 gigawatts of offshore wind capacity. Consequently, the region has become a key market for offshore wind developers and suppliers.
Strengthening Global Market Position
Looking ahead, LS Cable & System aims to strengthen its position in both Asian and European offshore wind markets. Furthermore, the company continues to pursue new opportunities in subsea cable manufacturing.
WPD Group, established in Germany in 1996, has completed more than 400 wind farm projects worldwide. As a result, it brings extensive experience in wind farm construction and operations.
