Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners (CIP) has signed a preferred supply agreement with LS Cable for the supply of offshore and onshore cables to Feng Miao 1, the company’s third offshore wind project in Taiwan.
Under the agreement, Korea-based LS Cable will supply offshore export cables, inter-array cables, and onshore export cables from their Korean manufacturing facility to the 500 MW Feng Miao 1 offshore wind project in Taiwan.
This is the fourth cable supply collaboration between LS Cable and CIP’s offshore wind projects in Asia, following Changfang Xidao and Zhong Neng in Taiwan, and Jeonnam Offshore Wind 1 in Korea.
CIP was awarded Feng Miao 1 in the first round of Taiwan’s Round 3 Zonal Development Offshore Wind Auction in December 2022.
The offshore wind project is currently in the late development stage, finalizing design and procurement in preparation for financial close, said CIP.
The 500 MW Feng Miao 1 will be located approximately 35 kilometers off the coast of Taichung in central Taiwan.
The construction is planned to commence in 2025 and the project is expected to enter into commercial operation in 2027.
In addition to Feng Miao 1, CIP is building two other offshore wind farms in Taiwan, the 589 MW Changfang and Xidao and the 298 MW Zhong Neng .
