LS Cable & System announced the commencement of construction on a Vertical Continuous Extrusion (VCV) tower at its undersea cable factory in Chesapeake, Virginia. This factory is operated by LS Greenlink, LS Cable’s US production subsidiary. The VCV tower is a crucial component for manufacturing high-voltage direct current (HVDC) cables, essential for offshore wind power transmission. This investment signifies LS Cable’s commitment to expanding its presence in the growing US offshore wind energy market. The new facility aims to meet increasing demand driven by the Biden administration’s ambitious renewable energy goals. Completion of the tower and the overall factory is expected to bolster domestic cable production capabilities and reduce reliance on imports. The project represents a significant investment in US manufacturing and infrastructure.
