"Production Plan at Factory in Dangjin, Chungnam"

Daehan Electric Wire has announced on the 4th that it has been selected as the preferred supplier for submarine cables in the largest offshore wind farm project in Korea. The company signed a Preferred Supplier Agreement (PSA) with Anma Offshore Wind Power Co., Ltd., an offshore wind power company.

The project involves creating an offshore wind farm with a capacity of 532 megawatts (MW) approximately 40 km west of Anmado, Yeonggwang-gun, Jeollanam-do. The size of the wind farm is about 29 times that of Yeouido. It is the largest offshore wind power project underway in Korea. Construction is scheduled to begin in the first half of next year and be completed by 2027.

Daehan Electric Wire will be responsible for supplying and installing the internal network submarine cables used in the offshore wind farm. The internal network cables connect between wind turbines and between turbines and the offshore substation. The submarine cables will be manufactured and supplied from the submarine cable factory currently under construction in Dangjin-si, Chungcheongnam-do. Daehan Electric Wire estimates that the demand for internal network cables for this project will amount to several hundred billion won when converted to an economic scale.

A representative from Daehan Electric Wire stated, "Being selected as the preferred supplier for a large-scale project before the completion of the submarine cable factory allows us to accelerate business expansion," adding, "We plan to invest aggressively to provide comprehensive solutions to our clients in the submarine cable sector, just as we do in the underground cable sector."
