Jiangsu's longest cross sea cable project completed
According to Jiangsu Provincial Power Transmission and Transformation Co., Ltd., the first island type substation in Jiangsu - the 110 kV transmission and transformation project of Yangkou Port Sunshine Island in Rudong County - was completed on August 30th. This is the longest and farthest cable project across the sea in Jiangsu, with a single loop distance of about 16 kilometers. Sunshine Island covers an area of only 3 square kilometers and is a large offshore liquefied natural gas energy island, gathering a number of petrochemical storage and trading projects such as Sinopec Jiangsu LNG. Currently, Sunshine Island unloads 7 million tons of LNG annually, which can meet one-third of Jiangsu's annual natural gas demand. It is the largest clean energy hub base in the Yangtze River Delta region and is expected to unload 26 million tons of LNG annually by 2027. As a supporting power transmission project for the construction of a multi million ton energy island, this cable project will cooperate with the island's 110 kV substation to complete cross sea power transmission, ensuring the power supply of the LNG receiving station on the island. Chen Qingfei, director of the Construction Management Department of Jiangsu Power Transmission and Distribution Co., Ltd., introduced that as Rudong Coast is located in mudflat, it is not suitable to lay cables directly. Considering the high safety risk of erecting iron towers in the sea, the high cost of submarine cables, and the difficulty of maintenance, the project team finally chose a more economical and safe way of laying cables along the bridge, using the cable channel reserved by the Second Yellow Sea Bridge to lay a single circuit cable of about 16 kilometers long to connect inside and outside the island.
