Korea is one of the most consequential offshore wind markets in Asia — and one of the least understood by the international industry.
More than 100 active projects representing over 35 GW of capacity, a landmark Offshore Wind Special Act now in force, and a government target of 25 GW by 2035: the decisions being made in Seoul today will shape the Asia-Pacific offshore wind landscape for the next decade. Yet nearly all of the critical information — government notices, ministry decisions, electricity-committee rulings, environmental assessments, auction results — originates in Korean and never reaches the international developer, investor, or supply-chain community in a timely or actionable form.
Korea Offshore Wind Intelligence exists to close that gap.
More than that, it brings the entire market into one place. Permitting and regulatory decisions, project-level data and techno-economic analysis, real-time news, and market intelligence — everything that matters about Korean offshore wind, gathered in English and updated continuously. Instead of chasing scattered, Korean-language sources, developers, investors, and suppliers get a single authoritative view of the whole market.
Built on a purpose-built AI system
Behind everything we publish is a proprietary intelligence system engineered specifically for Korean offshore wind — not a generic newsfeed, and not a general-purpose translation tool.
Every day, it reads Korean-language sources at their origin: the ministries and agencies responsible for offshore wind, the full range of information published by central and local government, industry reporting, and on-the-ground market intelligence. It structures each item, translates and classifies it, and maps it to the specific project, developer, and regulatory stage it concerns. The terminology, the entity names, and the full map of Korea's licensing process — from generation-licence (EBL) permitting through environmental assessment (EIA), auction awards, and committee decisions — are encoded into models we built and tune for this single market.
The result is intelligence at a speed and granularity that manual translation cannot reach: the same day a regulatory decision is made or a government filing is posted, it appears in our tracker — in English, mapped to the right project.
Engine ARA — our offshore wind analysis engine
Tracking tells you what is happening. Engine ARA tells you what it is worth.
Engine ARA is our proprietary techno-economic analysis engine for Korean offshore wind. For every project in the pipeline, it models the wind resource and estimates annual energy production (AEP), optimises turbine layouts within the licensed area, and builds a full cost-and-economics model — CAPEX, OPEX, LCOE, and the tariff a project needs to be viable.
Engine ARA is grounded in open, verifiable data — public wind atlases, bathymetry, environmental filings, and disclosed project parameters — and its outputs are validated against Korea's auction price caps and peer-reviewed benchmarks. It turns a list of regulatory milestones into comparable, investment-grade analysis across the entire national pipeline.
What we publish
Everything we track lives in one platform:
Who we are
Korea Offshore Wind Intelligence is produced by a team with direct experience across Korea's energy sector — regulatory affairs, project development, and market analysis. Our analysis is built on primary sources and a transparent method, and our editorial judgment is our own: what we report is driven by the data, not by any single market participant.
Our position is simple: the international industry deserves the same quality of market intelligence on Korea that it expects for the UK, Germany, or Taiwan. We are building that — into the definitive platform for the market.
Who reads this
Offshore wind developers evaluating Korea market entry, infrastructure investors tracking the pipeline, supply-chain companies assessing procurement opportunities, and energy professionals who need to stay current on one of Asia's most active regulatory environments.
Subscriptions
Korea Offshore Wind Intelligence is currently in open access. A paid tier — full Deep Dive archive, a weekly Pro Briefing, and full access to the Project Data Hub and Engine ARA project analysis — is planned for Q3 2026. For early access or team subscriptions, contact us directly.

Korea Offshore Wind Intelligence is a specialist intelligence platform for the Korean offshore wind market. Our analysis and editorial coverage are produced independently of any single market participant; where commercial relationships exist — advertising, partnerships, or sponsored content — they are clearly identified and never determine what we report.
