LS Marine Solution announced on the 26th that it has completed the construction of submarine cable for Jeonnam Offshore Wind Power Complex 1.

This is LS Marine Solutions' first offshore wind power construction project. It is significant in that it proves the company’s technological prowess and reliability in the domestic offshore wind power market and lays an important foundation for advancing into the global market.

Jeonnam Offshore Wind Power Complex 1, located in Sinan-gun, Jeonnam-do, Korea, has a total power generating capacity of 96 MW, and is scheduled to begin commercial production after test operation in March of next year. The complex is the first project of the world's largest offshore wind farm, which is expected to grow to 8.2 GW by 2035.

“We are actively pursuing not only the follow-up projects, such as Jeonnam Offshore Wind Power Complexes 2 and 3, but also pushing ahead into the global market, including Taiwan,” said an official of LS Marine Solution. “We will pursue sustainable growth based on our capacity to construct the longest submarine cable in Korea.”

LS Marine Solution, along with LS Cable & System, which has a capacity of approximately 500 MW, was recently selected as the preferred bidder for the supply of submarine cables for the Taean Offshore Wind Farm in South Chungnam-do. LS Cable & System will supply submarine cables, and LS Marine Solution will be in charge of construction, providing integrated solutions from design to construction.

LS Marine Solution is pursuing a new SOV (offshore wind supporting vessel) business to strengthen its competitiveness in offshore wind farms, and plans to secure differentiated competitiveness in the global market by building the world's largest submarine cable laying vessel.
