Taihan wins 2 cable contracts from Qatar

Taihan has secured two extra-high voltage, full turn-key power grid projects in Qatar worth about 160 million dollars, covering design, manufacturing, installation, and testing of 400 kV and 220 kV networks for Kahramaa. The wins highlight Qatar’s demanding technical standards and Taihan’s growing Middle East presence.

Taihan has secured two extra-high voltage (EHV) full turn-key projects in Qatar worth a combined total of approximately $160 million, further reinforcing its position in the Middle East power market.

A press release said that the company received a Letter of Award from Qatar General Electricity & Water Corporation (Kahramaa) for a 400 kV and 220 kV transmission system expansion project valued at about $130 million. The project covers the entire process from design and manufacturing to cable laying, jointing and testing of Qatar’s highest-voltage transmission networks. This award follows another contract signed on August 21, worth about $31 million for a separate 220 kV EHV power network expansion. Both projects will be carried out on a full turn-key basis.

Qatar’s grid expansion is regarded as one of the most technically demanding in the region, requiring stringent quality and project management standards. Taihan has participated in Kahramaa’s grid expansion initiatives since 2008, consistently delivering strong results and strengthening its standing as a trusted supplier. A company official said the consecutive contract wins underscore Taihan’s competitiveness in Qatar’s power infrastructure sector and align with its strategy to expand into HVDC and submarine cable systems to meet growing energy demands across the Middle East.
