Description
Taihan Cable & Solution was awarded a place on National Grid’s HVDC cable framework, identified as providing critical subsea cable works for early projects including the LionLink interconnector. As a framework supplier, Taihan may be contracted to engineer, manufacture and install sections of LionLink’s 525 kV HVDC subsea cable system linking the Dutch offshore grid to Suffolk. The role supports LionLink’s development and construction by broadening the pool of qualified HVDC cable suppliers available to National Grid, but no project‑specific LionLink contract awards or cable length allocations to Taihan have yet been announced.
