Submarine Cable Plant 1 is located on the rear site of Gode Pier at Pyeongtaek Dangjin Port. The total area is 44,800㎡, and construction is being carried out in two phases. The Phase 1 plant, which started operation this time, is equipped for the production of submarine cables for offshore wind internal networks and received completion approval last month. It is expected to begin full-scale operation starting with the production of internal networks to be supplied to the Yeonggwang Nakwol Offshore Wind Project.

Vice Chairman Song, who attended the plant commissioning ceremony, said, "With the completion of Phase 1 facilities at Submarine Cable Plant 1, we have secured production capacity to meet the rapidly growing demand for submarine cables every year." He also predicted, "We will accelerate the construction of Phase 2 of Plant 1 and Submarine Cable Plant 2 to establish a diversified product portfolio and expand global order opportunities based on this."

Phase 2 of Daehan Cable’s Submarine Cable Plant 1 is equipped for the production of external network submarine cables, with completion targeted for the first half of next year. Submarine Cable Plant 2 is expected to be a state-of-the-art facility for producing external network and HVDC submarine cables. Currently, the final review for site selection is underway.
