Iljin Electric is accelerating its entry into the European market by securing a large-scale high-voltage power network project in the UK, a leader in power technology.
On July 10, Iljin Electric announced that it has won a contract for part of the construction of a 400kV underground transmission line as part of a strategic reinforcement project for a total of 180 kilometers of high-voltage transmission network connecting eastern and southeastern England. The contract is valued at approximately £41.77 million, equivalent to about 84.5 billion won.
This project is a key infrastructure initiative aimed at reliably delivering large-scale offshore wind power generated in eastern England to the densely populated southeastern region. It is considered essential for achieving the UK’s goals of expanding renewable energy and decarbonizing the power system.
An Iljin Electric official stated, "This contract is a significant achievement that demonstrates our high-voltage cable technology in the UK market, which is undergoing a major transformation in power infrastructure. We will actively participate in upcoming large-scale power network expansion projects and broaden our market across Europe."
Meanwhile, Iljin Electric recently signed a contract for the supply of high-voltage cables for a data center in Malaysia, valued at approximately 62.1 billion won.
