Taihan Secures 181.6 Billion KRW Turnkey Contract for Anma Offshore Wind Power Project, Marking Major Progress in Korea’s Offshore Wind Market

The "PALOS" Cable Laying Vessel—Deployed for Major Offshore Wind Projects in Korea​

• Proven Full Turnkey Competence in Submarine Cables: From Design to Production, Transport, and Installation
• To Be Manufactured at the Recently Completed Dangjin Submarine Cable Plant 1; Installed by Korea’s Sole CLV, “PALOS”
• Extensive Experience and Track Record from Successive Offshore Wind Projects
• Expanding 640kV HVDC Production Infrastructure to Prepare for the “West Coast Energy Highway

Taihan has announced the signing of a turnkey contract to supply and install over 100km of inter-array submarine cables for Korea’s largest offshore wind development, the Anma Offshore Wind Power project. The contract, valued at approximately KRW 181.6 billion (VAT included), runs until the end of 2028.

The Anma Offshore Wind Power project involves constructing a 532MW wind farm on the west coast of the Anma Archipelago in Yeonggwang-gun, Jeollanam-do, covering an area of 83.9 million square meters. Anticipated annual output is 1,400GWh—enough electricity to power 1.4 million people each year.

For this project, Taihan will oversee the entire turnkey process, including the design, manufacturing, transportation, and installation of inter-array cables, which link turbines and connect turbines to offshore substations. As wind farms scale up, cable volumes grow commensurately.

All submarine cables will be produced at the recently completed Dangjin Submarine Cable Plant 1. For cable laying operations, Taihan will utilize “PALOS,” Korea’s only cable laying vessel (CLV).

Previously, Taihan participated in key domestic offshore wind projects such as Yeonggwang Nakwol and Southwest Offshore Wind, accumulating technological expertise and project execution capabilities. The “PALOS” vessel was deployed for the Yeonggwang Nakwol project, proving its outstanding performance on Korea’s West Coast.

A Taihan spokesperson commented, 
“Leveraging our submarine cable competitiveness built since 2009, Taihan is achieving rapid results in Korea’s offshore wind segment. By consistently strengthening our turnkey capabilities, we aim to contribute to supply chain stability for Korea’s offshore wind expansion and the West Coast Energy Highway, while also enhancing export competitiveness as we actively join growing offshore wind projects in Europe and Asia.”

To meet fast-growing domestic and international demand, Taihan is steadily strengthening its production and installation capacity. Submarine Cable Plant 1 will supply both inter-array and export cables for offshore wind, and, as of July 16, Taihan has approved investment in Submarine Cable Plant 2, capable of producing 640kV HVDC and 400kV HVAC cables. Construction on Plant 2 is set to begin this year, with operations targeted for 2027.​
