Taihan Cable & Solution secures supply and installation contract for submarine cables linking island-based PV arrays to South Korea's grid

Taihan Cable & Solution secured a contract from Top Solar Group to supply and install 154 kV submarine cables for a grid connection project in South Jeolla province, South Korea. The cables will link two PV arrays—the Bigeum Island solar farm and the Dogo floating solar installation—to a substation on Anjwa Island, with Taihan manufacturing the cables at its Dangjin submarine cable factory and Taihan Ocean Works handling transport and installation. This marks Taihan's first fully integrated project with its marine installation subsidiary, Taihan Ocean Works, acquired in July 2025. The project demonstrates an integrated value chain spanning manufacturing, transportation, and installation, serving as a strategic stepping stone for expansion into large-scale power grid projects, including HVDC. Taihan is also constructing a second submarine cable factory at Dangjin capable of producing 640 kV HVDC cable, positioning the company for participation in major offshore wind power projects like the West Coast Energy Highway.
