EWP (Korea East-West Power) is considering acquiring a stake in the Anma offshore wind project. Majority shareholder Equis, a Singapore-based investor, had sought to sell control, but talks with CIP (Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners) failed to reach agreement over financing terms.
Public-led offshore wind projects in South Korea's Jeonbuk and Jeju provinces are facing significant setbacks, with KOWEPO (Korea Western Power) withdrawing from the 1GW Buan project and multiple Jeju initiatives stalling due to grid connection constraints and community benefit-sharing costs.
Mokpo Offshore Wind Platform Center officially opened on October 29, 2026, at Mokpo New Port as a national policy project to strengthen Korea's offshore wind industry competitiveness.
Lee Hyun-seung of Copenhagen Offshore Partners (COP) Korea and Kim Jin-chul of Jeonnam Offshore Wind highlighted offshore wind as a supply chain alternative amid geopolitical energy uncertainty, citing 13.8 trillion won in manufacturing output per 1 GW and 624 GW domestic technical potential.
South Korea's government has decided to consolidate five state-owned power generators (Korea East-West Power, Korea Midwestern Power, Korea Western Power, Korea Southern Power, and Korea Southeastern Power) into a single entity called 'Korea Generation' after 25 years of operating separately.
Korea's five state-owned generators become one in October 2027. They hold 14.0 GW of offshore wind, a third of the national pipeline. What the merger case rests on, and what it leaves unanswered.
Each report takes a project from wind and site to an optimised turbine layout, net energy after wake, the grid connection route, capital cost and levelised cost of energy (LCOE), with sensitivities to wind, wake and cost. Group reports analyse neighbouring projects together, including the wake between them.
