Taiwan plans to complete a 5.5GW wind power complex by 2025 and add an additional 15GW by 2035. This scale is equivalent to about 20 nuclear power plants of 1GW each. The industry expects that orders for underwater cable materials and construction projects, estimated to reach a total of 4.5 trillion KRW, will begin in earnest from the end of this year.


Since 2018, LS Cable & System has secured all supply rights for ultra-high voltage underwater cables ordered in Taiwan, worth about 1 trillion KRW. LS Marine Solution also has expertise in underwater construction, including important climate, current, and geological surveys, having constructed a 22km underwater cable between Penghu Island in the Taiwan Strait and the mainland in 2017.



The company stated, "We expect that turnkey orders for cable materials and construction projects will be possible through a consortium with LS Cable & System."
