SEOUL, Taihan Cable & Solution Co., South Korea’s second-largest cable manufacturer, announced that it has secured major contracts in Qatar with a combined value of 220 billion won (US$158 million), further strengthening its foothold in the Middle East power infrastructure market.

In an official statement, the company confirmed that it has received a letter of award from Kahramaa, Qatar’s state-owned electricity and water authority, for a large-scale turnkey project worth 180 billion won. The contract involves expanding the Gulf nation’s transmission network to enhance power stability and support its long-term infrastructure plans.
Additionally, Taihan revealed that earlier this month, it was awarded another project worth 40 billion won, also in Qatar, to build a high-voltage power grid designed to accommodate the country’s rising electricity demand, driven by economic growth and rapid urban development.
These latest wins reflect Taihan’s growing partnership with Kahramaa, which dates back to 2008. Over the years, the company has consistently participated in numerous projects commissioned by the Qatari utility provider, showcasing its ability to compete effectively against leading global cable makers in one of the world’s most competitive energy markets.
A Taihan spokesperson highlighted the significance of the contracts, noting that the Middle East continues to see a sharp rise in demand for power transmission and distribution infrastructure as governments invest heavily in energy diversification and urban expansion.
“As demand for power infrastructure continues to grow throughout the Middle East, including Qatar, we will continue to strengthen our portfolio and expand into next-generation solutions such as high-voltage direct current (HVDC) cable systems and submarine cable projects,” the company said.
The new projects not only reinforce Taihan’s position in the Middle East but also align with its global strategy to expand its market presence beyond traditional cable supply into advanced energy infrastructure solutions.
