LS Cable & System Wins Offshore Wind Cable Contract in Netherlands
South Korea’s LS Cable & System has secured a major LS Cable offshore wind cable contract from TenneT. The company will supply 210 kilometers of high-voltage (HV) cable. These cables will connect the Hollandse Kust Noord and West Alpha offshore wind farms in the Netherlands.
€100 Million LS Cable Offshore Wind Cable Contract
The total project exceeds €100 million. In addition, Jan De Nul Group will support the project as a key marine construction partner.
Notably, this deal marks one of LS C&S’s first large-scale contracts in Europe. As a result, the company strengthens its position in a highly competitive cable market.
The bidding process focused on technical expertise, operational quality, and pricing. Ultimately, the consortium delivered the most economically advantageous proposal.
Supporting Europe’s Renewable Energy Expansion
Meanwhile, the Netherlands continues to expand its renewable energy capacity. The country aims to reach more than 11 gigawatts of offshore wind power by 2030.
Specifically, the Hollandse Kust Noord and West Alpha projects will deliver a combined 1.4 GW of capacity. These projects will operate in Dutch coastal waters.
Therefore, LS Cable & System will play a key role by supplying high-performance submarine power cables. These systems ensure reliable offshore grid connections.
Expanding Presence in the European Cable Market
Since 2012, LS C&S has delivered power cable solutions across Europe. For example, the company has completed projects in the U.K., Denmark, the Netherlands, and Belgium.
Looking ahead, the company expects strong growth. In fact, the European submarine cable market could reach billions of euros over the next five years.
As a result, LS Cable & System plans to pursue more submarine cable projects in Western Europe. This includes continued expansion in the Netherlands.
