  "summary": "South Korean cable manufacturers are actively competing for high-voltage direct current (HVDC) projects in Europe, as the demand for power transmission and renewable energy expansion drives the need for such technology. Companies like Taihan Cable & Solution, LS Cable & System, Hyosung Heavy Industries, and HD Hyundai Electric are showcasing their HVDC and submarine cable technologies at the CIGRE 2026 exhibition in Paris. These companies have secured significant contracts, including a 146.3 billion-won ($105.82 million) contract for the second phase of Korea Electric Power Corp.'s 500-kV HVDC project. As Europe seeks to meet stricter environmental regulations and address the global power-grid bottleneck, these South Korean cable makers are expanding production capacity and targeting European markets with eco-friendly power equipment.",
