Jan De Nul signed a contract with Synera Renewable Energy (SRE) for the installation of export cables on the Taiwanese wind farm Formosa 4. To bring the green energy ashore, Jan De Nul will transport, install and protect 60 kilometres of subsea cables. 55 kilometres southwest of Formosa 4, the company was also selected as the preferred contractor for export cables on SRE’s wind farm Formosa 6.
In less than a decade, Taiwan has built a capacity for offshore wind energy of more than three gigawatts, generated by 374 wind turbines1. This puts them in seventh place worldwide. With the projects currently under construction, they are expected to hop over Belgium into sixth place this year2. By 2030, Taiwan hopes to exceed a capacity of 13 gigawatts3.
Jan De Nul has been active in Taiwan since 1990 and has contributed to the development of offshore wind energy from its start in 2017.
