Building an electric power grid in Sydney’s CBD
Building an electric power grid in Sydney’s CBD
This Powering Sydney's Future (PSF) project necessitated the construction of a new power system in order to prepare for a surge in power consumption in and around the inner Sydney. Taihan offered 330kV EHV cables, cable accessories, and equipment and materials (the maximum voltage utilized for underground power cables in Australia), etc. The company was also tasked with designing, pulling, connecting, and testing the electric power grid in a two-year turn-key project.
Supplied products and solutions
- 330kV EHV XLPE cable and cable accessories
- Other EHV cable accessories
- Engineering and construction, diagnostic systems
Introducing high-performance cable manufacturing technologies
Introducing high-performance cable manufacturing technologies
The enamel-coated conductor EHV cable provided for this project is a cable that minimizes conductor transmission resistance and provides significant technological and commercial benefit by boosting transmission efficiency. The procedure of applying an enamel coating to each component of the conductor, in particular, necessitates high precision and skilled expertise, demonstrating Taihan's superiority in cable production technology.
Establishing itself as a major supplier in the Australian market

With the successful completion of this project, Taihan contributed to stabilize Australia's power supply while also achieving some outstanding milestones, such as growing into the leading provider of EHV cables in the Australian market. The corporation is still bidding on large-scale projects commissioned by the Australian government as a part of its infrastructure expansion and improvement policy. As a result, Taihan anticipates gaining a competitive advantage in securing future contracts as well.
Creating synergies through proven technology and localized sales
Since entering the Oceania power market in 2004 with the provision of 33kV cables to Australia, both high-quality goods and outstanding technology of Taihan have been highly recognized by winning many turn-key projects such as AusGrid 132kV, PowerLink 275kV, and TransGrid 330kV. With offices in Sydney, the firm now provides goods and solutions in almost every Australian state and territory, including New South Wales, Queensland, Victoria, and South Australia.
