LS Cable & System Spearheads Submarine Power Grid Expansion in Malaysia: Aims for Dominance in Booming Asia-Pacific Subsea Cable Market

The initiative’s main objective is to guarantee a reliable power supply by enlarging a 132kV-grade underwater power grid between the Malaysian peninsula and Langkawi Island, a well-known tourist hotspot.

LS Cable & System prevailed over several international corporations to secure this second Langkawi venture, following an earlier project. The firm emphasized its capacity to manage intricate turn-key projects, supervising everything from design and material provision to installation and construction. This was over and above the basic cable supply, thus demonstrating its superior engineering proficiency.

It is predicted that the worldwide underwater cable market will increase to KRW 34 trillion by 2030. The Asia-Pacific region, renowned for its abundant islands, is likely to be at the forefront of this surge with KRW 20 trillion. At present, Southeast Asia is diligently working on large-scale underwater power grid projects in an effort to set up the ASEAN Power Grid (APG). The primary goal of the APG is to interconnect national power infrastructures.

LS Cable & System is poised to use this project as a stepping stone to boost its international order references and quicken its growth in the local market. The company plans to join forces with LS Marine Solution and other associates on large national projects. One example of such a project is the West Coast energy highway, for which a bidding notice is expected to be released in the first half of this year.

LS Cable & System stated, “We are establishing credibility in the global market, built upon previous project implementation experience and our technical prowess. We are determined to strengthen our leadership in the underwater cable market by successfully executing domestic and international backbone network construction projects, leveraging our proven turn-key competencies.”
