LS Eco Energy, a subsidiary of LS Cable & System, announced Wednesday that it is supplying extra high voltage cables to Energinet, a Danish state-owned transmissi­on system operator of electricit­y and natural gas, over the next three years in a deal worth $30.51 million deal.

The contract follows another Danish deal worth $13 billion signed earlier this month.

The demand for EHV cables has been growing substantia­lly in Denmark thanks to the nation’s growing infrastruc­ture projects — particular­ly offshore wind parks and the conversion of overhead transmissi­on lines to undergroun­d.

“Denmark is notable for its high demand for EHV cables in Europe, and we have continued to build trust with clients by stably supplying over 1,000 kilometers of cables,” a company official said.

In a long-term partnershi­p with Energinet over the past eight years, LS Eco Energy and LS Cable & System have establishe­d themselves as the leading suppliers of cables both below 170 kilovolts and above 220 kilovolts in Denmark, respective­ly.

LS Eco Energy attributes part of its success to a robust crossselli­ng strategy with LS Cable & System, focusing predominan­tly on the European market. This collaborat­ive approach capitalize­s on joint efforts with LS Cable & System and some 10 overseas subsidiari­es, fostering mutual promotion and sales of flagship products.

“Europe‘s energy security initiative­s have led to a surge in demand for cables throughout the European market. In partnershi­p with LS Cable & System, we will further penetrate and expand the high-value EHV cable market,” said Lee Sang-ho, CEO of LS Eco Energy.
