New cable contract to bring wind power ashore in Taiwan


1 July 2024


We signed a preferred supplier agreement with Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners (CIP) for the installation of about 90km of subsea high-voltage export cables.

Those cables will bring wind energy generated at the Fengmiao I wind farm ashore. Fengmiao I is the eighth wind farm in Taiwan where we are contributing to.

Worldwide, we've participated in the construction of over 60 offshore wind farms.

Fengmiao I has a capacity of 500MW, providing power for about half a million households, and is part of the larger Fengmiao wind project.

This is located 35km off the coast of Taichung and has a total capacity of 1,800MW. Jan De Nul Group will connect the offshore substation of Fengmiao I to the onshore grid of Taiwan via two AC high-voltage cables.

To do so, we will deploy our cable-laying vessel Willem de Vlamingh. We will be responsible for transport and installation of the cables, including the protection of crossings with other cables.

The cables have a length of 45km and 44km respectively and weigh more than eight thousand tonnes altogether.
