LS Cable & System is expanding its efforts in the European offshore wind market by presenting an integrated solution that encompasses everything from subsea cable production to installation and maintenance in collaboration with LS Marine Solutions.
The company announced its participation in the 'WindEnergy Hamburg 2026' exhibition, taking place from September 22 to 25 in Hamburg, Germany.
WindEnergy Hamburg is the world's largest wind energy exhibition, held biennially in Hamburg, featuring major companies in the wind industry, including global developers, power companies, and turbine and cable manufacturers.
At the exhibition, LS Cable & System will showcase its offshore wind power network solutions that connect wind turbines to onshore power grids. The product lineup includes medium voltage cables for turbines, subsea cables between turbines, and high-voltage subsea cables that connect to land.
Notably, the company will introduce its 500kV HVDC (high-voltage direct current) cable technology, which is the only commercialized version in the domestic power industry. The 525kV, 80°C HVDC subsea cable can increase transmission capacity by up to 25% compared to the existing 70°C models, addressing the needs of large-scale and long-distance offshore wind power transmission.
LS Cable & System is strengthening its integrated business system in collaboration with LS Marine Solutions, covering the entire process from subsea cable production and installation to inspection and maintenance.
LS Marine Solutions is expanding its capabilities to respond to global offshore wind projects, including the construction of a large 13,000-ton HVDC subsea cable laying vessel, aimed for deployment in 2028.
The company will also showcase eco-friendly materials in response to Europe's carbon reduction demands. By utilizing recycled copper and low-carbon, recycled aluminum, LS Cable & System aims to reduce carbon emissions from the raw material stage and meet the green procurement requirements of European offshore wind projects.
An LS Cable & System official stated, "Europe is a key market for us, having secured the largest supply contract in the Tennet project, the largest HVDC project in Europe. We will continue to expand our business based on our HVDC technology and subsea construction capabilities."
