Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners (CIP) has signed a preferred supply agreement with LS Cable for the supply of offshore and onshore cables to Feng Miao 1, the company’s third offshore wind project in Taiwan.
Under the agreement, Korea-based LS Cable will supply offshore export cables, inter-array cables, and onshore export cables from their Korean manufacturing facility to the 500 MW Feng Miao 1 offshore wind project in Taiwan.
This is the fourth cable supply collaboration between LS Cable and CIP’s offshore wind projects in Asia, following Changfang Xidao and Zhong Neng in Taiwan, and Jeonnam Offshore Wind 1 in Korea.
CIP was awarded Feng Miao 1 in the first round of Taiwan’s Round 3 Zonal Development Offshore Wind Auction in December 2022.
The offshore wind project is currently in the late development stage, finalising design and procurement in preparation for financial close, said CIP.
