LS Cable & System and its subsidiary LS Marine Solution have won a contract for the supply and installation of cables for the 532 MW Anma offshore wind project in South Korea.
The contracts are worth ₩177 billion (approximately $185 million).
LS Marine Solution will be responsible for laying the submarine cables that will connect the offshore wind farm to the mainland, while LS Cable & System will supply them. The company will utilise its upgraded 8,000-tone cable-laying vessel GL2030.
In 2023, the two companies were selected as the preferred bidders for the supply and installation of cables for the Anma offshore wind project.
Anma Offshore Wind is a 532 MW offshore wind farm located approximately 40 kilometers west of the South Korean peninsula’s southwestern coastline. The project site is positioned next to Anma Island in Yeonggwang Municipality, South Jeolla Province.
HBA Future Energy will build the offshore substation under an agreement signed with the developer in October 2023.
The Anma offshore wind farm was among five developments awarded a share of nearly 1.9 GW in offshore wind capacity by the South Korean government at the end of 2024.
According to the project’s website, construction is expected to begin in 2025, while completion is planned for the first quarter of 2029.
