Taihan Cable Unveils Submarine and Underground Cable Turnkey Solutions at "Cigre 2026"

Showcasing 640kV HVDC Cables and Cable-Laying Fleet

Highlighting Total Capabilities from Production to Construction

Taihan Cable showcased its power transmission technology, spanning both submarine and underground sectors, at the world's largest power grid event held in Paris, France.

On August 25, Taihan Cable announced that it had unveiled a range of advanced products and technologies targeting the global power infrastructure market at "Cigre 2026" (CIGRE), which was held in Paris, France, on August 23 (local time). Established in 1921, CIGRE is the world’s most authoritative international organization in the transmission and distribution sector, gathering power companies, global corporations, and experts from various countries every two years to share the latest technological trends.

Under the theme of "The Future of Power Connected by Technology," Taihan Cable organized its booth around three core topics: ▲ Submarine cable turnkey solutions ▲ High voltage direct current (HVDC) and high voltage cable systems ▲ Global network. Turnkey solutions refer to a business approach in which the company takes responsibility for all processes—including design, product manufacturing, transportation, construction, and maintenance—in an integrated manner from start to finish.

The company highlighted its submarine cable turnkey competitiveness at the front of the booth and actively promoted its production and construction infrastructure. Taihan Cable revealed the infrastructure of its currently operating Submarine Plant 1, as well as Submarine Plant 2, which is capable of producing 640kV HVDC and 400kV high voltage alternating current (HVAC) submarine cables. In addition, the company presented its operational capabilities for a dedicated fleet of cable-laying vessels (CLVs)—specialized ships that lay cables at sea—consisting of the "Scandi Connector" and "Palos," which is the only such dedicated fleet operated domestically.

On the technology front, the company showcased the first domestically developed 500kV current-type HVDC cable system, the 525kV voltage-type HVDC land cable system, and the HVDC Test Center capable of simultaneously testing two 640kV-class cable circuits, highlighting its research and development (R&D) achievements in the field of long-distance and high-capacity power transmission.

This event was attended by key company leadership, including CEO and Vice Chairman Song Jongmin, Executive Vice President for Submarine Business Lee Chunwon, Executive Director for Overseas Energy Projects Nam Jeongse, and major overseas branch heads. Together, they discussed collaboration opportunities with European power authorities and key client companies.

A Taihan Cable representative stated, "Driven by the expansion of AI data centers and the increase in renewable energy, global demand for power grid investment is rising rapidly. Based on our technological competitiveness in submarine cables, HVDC, and high-voltage cable systems, we will continue to strengthen cooperation with global customers and actively pursue new contract opportunities."
