Jan De Nul has completed the installation of two export cables for the Fengmiao 1 offshore wind farm, built by Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners (CIP) 35 kilometers off the coast of Taichung, Taiwan.
Jan De Nul said on April 20 that the two high-voltage submarine cables, 45 km and 44 km long, have been installed and are currently in wet storage offshore, awaiting the installation of the offshore substation jacket.
With the cables now in place, Jan De Nul will move on to the next stage of the work, which involves burying the cables on the seabed using trenches. Once the offshore platform becomes available, the cables will be pulled and connected.
The cables were installed using the Cable Laying Vessel (CLV) Willem de Vlamingh, which is also deployed for transport, trenching and protection activities.
Fengmiao 1 will consist of 33 15MW offshore wind turbines, mounted on three-legged jacket foundations, and one offshore substation mounted on a four-legged jacket structure.
At the beginning of this year, CIP announced that its supplier Century Wind Power produced the first foundations for the projectbefore foundation installation, which will begin this year.
The 495MW Fengmiao offshore wind farm is scheduled to be completed and connected to the grid with Taiwan Power Corporation’s Taichung Zhongqing substation in 2027.
