Wind power in South Korea

[5] The Singapore-based subsea engineering company, G8, received approval to build a 1.5GW offshore wind farm in late December 2021.

The project is planned to be built off the south-west tip of South Korea with the build site having recorded wind speeds of 7–8 m/s.

The goal expected to be met by the creation of these wind farms is to increase South Korea's renewable energy by 30 times by the year 2035.

Havfram was appointed to study the transport, installation and supplying of necessary cables and systems offshore for the windshore project by Equinor in March 2022.

[11] South Korea's Geoview was also selected in early 2022 for the task of surveying and mapping the subsea geophysical of the wind site.

It is estimated that the 8.2 GW Shinan wind farm can provide for the populations of both Seoul and Incheon and is a part of South Korea's former President Moon Jae-In's Green New Deal.

As of September 6, 2022, Corio Generation and TotalEnergies joined SK Ecoplant to expand the BadaEnergy in the provinces of South Jeolla and the coasts of Ulsan.

The partnership is expected to create jobs for the country and supply green energy at a competitive price through the development of 504 MW wind farms.

Donghae Gray Whale 3 consists of one of the projects that will be completed due to the association between Corio and Total Energies expected to have a capacity of 1.5 GW.

[16] This project will be built 70 kilometers from the coast of Ulsan consisting of floating offshore wind farms, at a depth of 150 meters.

A consortium of DORIS and Hyundai Heavy Industries has been appointed as the Front-End Engineering Design (FEED) by Corio and Total Energies for the Gray Whale Project.

The association plans on improving the Hi-Float design to be able to harbor Tecnip Energies' in-house floater technology INO15, which will also be used for this project.
