  "account": "Taihan revealed its 345-kilovolt high-capacity transmission cable at the Bitgaram International Exposition of Electric Power Technology (BIXPO) 2026, which took place at the Kimdaejung Convention Center in Gwangju from November 4 to 6. This cable, developed in collaboration with the Korea Electric Power Corporation, features an expanded conductor cross-sectional area, increasing transmission capacity by raising it from 2,500㎟ to 3,200㎟. Taihan Cable & Solution anticipates that this advancement will lower power grid construction costs and reduce project timelines. In addition to the cable, the company showcased a joint box designed for the cable and introduced models of a 525-kilovolt high-voltage direct current (HVDC) submarine cable, which could be utilized in the West Coast Energy Expressway project. Taihan also displayed the cable laying vessels Taihan Connector and Palos. The company unveiled its second submarine cable plant, slated for operation in 2027, and a test center equipped to evaluate high-voltage direct current cables up to 640 kilovolts. A Taihan representative stated, \"We intend to respond proactively to national core power grid construction projects, such as the West Coast Energy Expressway, and enhance our competitiveness in the global power infrastructure market through ongoing technological advancements.\"",
