Taihan Cable & Solution (Taihan) announced on December 26 that it has won a 60 billion won 380 kilovolt (kV) ultra-high voltage power grid project in Germany.
The project was ordered by TenneT, which operates transmission networks in Germany and the Netherlands. TenneT is constructing underground cables to expand the transmission network needed for green wind power in Germany.
Taihan will supply all materials, including high-voltage cables and connections, and carry out power grid design, laying, connection, and testing.
The 380-kilovolt grid is the highest voltage underground alternating current power grid used in Germany, and the selection process involves a comprehensive evaluation of technical skills and project execution capabilities, Taihan said.
Earlier this year, Taihan won two ultra-high voltage power grid construction projects worth 70 billion won in Germany.
"Germany is a country where the demand for power grids continues to expand due to policies such as carbon neutrality and the expansion of renewable energy," said a Taihan official. "We will actively respond to local market needs to secure additional orders and expand our competitiveness through customized strategies such as securing production bases in Europe."
