Belgian contractor to install export lines for CIPs 500MW Taiwanese offshore wind farm
Jan De Nul has signed a preferred supplier agreement with Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners for the installation of export cables for the 500MW Fengmiao 1 offshore wind farm in Taiwan.
The project is located approximately 35km off the coast of Taichung.
Jan De Nul will connect the offshore substation of Fengmiao 1 to the onshore grid via two AC high-voltage cables.
To do so, it will deploy its cable-laying vessel Willem de Vlamingh.
Jan De Nul is 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.
Jan De Nul offshore cables manager Wouter Vermeersch said: “The Fengmiao wind farm brings us another step closer to a world driven by renewable energy. Jan De Nul Group is a big believer in the energy transition and has the knowledge, skills and equipment to make that transition a reality.
“The two new XL cable-laying vessels we recently ordered prove that we are going all-out for green electricity." |
