대한전선 is participating in CIGRE 2026, the world's largest power grid exhibition, held in Paris, France, from August 23 to 28. The company aims to strengthen its presence in the European energy infrastructure market by showcasing its high-voltage direct current (HVDC) and submarine cable technologies.
CIGRE is an international organization that shares the latest technologies and research achievements in the power transmission and distribution sector, hosting biennial conferences and exhibitions. It involves over 100 member countries, 1,200 institutions, and more than 15,000 experts.
Under the theme "The Future of Power Connected by Technology," Daehan Electric Wire is presenting strategic products and technologies that cover underground and submarine solutions, including turnkey submarine cable solutions, HVDC and high-voltage alternating current (HVAC) cable systems, and a global network.
The turnkey submarine cable solution is prominently displayed at the booth to emphasize the company's capability to manage the entire value chain, from cable design and production to transportation, construction, and maintenance.
The company is also showcasing its production and construction infrastructure, including its operational submarine cable factory and a second factory capable of producing 640kV HVDC and 400kV HVAC submarine cables. Additionally, it is introducing the only cable laying vessel fleet in the country, consisting of the Scandi Connector and Palos.
Daehan Electric Wire is highlighting its competitive edge in HVDC technology by exhibiting the 500kV current-type HVDC cable system and the 525kV voltage-type HVDC land cable system, both developed as key products to meet the growing global demand for long-distance, large-capacity power transmission.
The company is also presenting an HVDC test center capable of simultaneously testing two circuits of 640kV land and submarine HVDC cables. Furthermore, it is emphasizing its global project execution capabilities through high-voltage cable projects conducted in Europe, North America, the Middle East, and Asia.
Song Jong-min, Vice Chairman and CEO of Daehan Electric Wire, along with other key executives, met with representatives from major European power authorities and clients on-site to discuss ongoing projects and future collaboration opportunities.
A Daehan Electric Wire official stated, "With the expansion of AI data centers and renewable energy, the demand for power grid investments is rapidly increasing worldwide. We will expand our collaboration with global clients and actively secure new order opportunities based on our technological competitiveness in submarine cables, HVDC, and high-voltage cable systems."
