South Korean engineering firm HD Hyundai Heavy Industries has secured a significant contract to construct an offshore substation for a 500-MW wind farm located off Taean in South Chungcheong Province. The company announced on Friday that it had entered into an agreement with Taean Wind Power, a joint venture comprising Singapore's Vena Energy, Denmark's Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners (CIP), and South Korea's Korea Western Power.

HD Hyundai Heavy Industries secured this contract through a sequence of agreements, commencing with a front-end engineering design contract in March, followed by a preferred supplier agreement.
