Synera Renewable Energy (SRE) has awarded a contract to Seaway7 for the transport and installation of inter-array cables for the 495MW Formosa 4 wind farm in Taiwan.
The offshore wind farm site is located approximately 20km off the coast of Miaoli County and will comprise 35 wind turbine generators.
Seaway7’s scope of work includes the transport and installation of 35 inter-array cables with offshore works expected to commence in 2028.
In addition, Seaway7 has been selected as the preferred contractor for the cable installation scope on SRE’s Formosa 6 project, comprising the transport and installation of 57 inter-array cables, with contract finalisation expected in 2026.
Chief executive of Seaway7 Stuart Fitzgerald said: “We are looking forward to supporting SRE on the Formosa 4 project and being able to continue contributing to the Taiwanese offshore wind targets with our seventh contract award since entering the Taiwanese market in 2019.”
Seaway7 is part of the Subsea7 group, which described the contract from SRE as “substantial”.
Subsea7 defines a substantial contract as being between $150m and $300m.
