South Korea's wind power industry is accelerating efforts to secure 70 percent domestic content in offshore wind turbine components and reduce costs. However, Chinese companies are emerging as a competitive threat, leveraging low prices and large-capacity turbine technology, making price competitiveness a key challenge for domestic firms.
According to industry sources on November 10, 2026, Doosan Enerbility has completed manufacturing the nacelle and hub for a 10MW offshore wind turbine and plans to finish on-site replacement work in December. At the Korea Wind Energy Society autumn academic conference held in Jeju on November 9, 2026, Doosan Enerbility, along with Sunghyun, Silla Precision, and Human Composite, unveiled their domestic turbine development results. The government-backed project aims to achieve 70 percent domestic content and secure cost competitiveness.
