2 projects in Korea totalling 500 MW. Compiled from the KWI database. Not part of the source article.
EWP (Korea East-West Power) is advancing two renewable energy projects: the 110MW Handong Pyeongdae offshore wind farm in Jeju, which obtained its electricity business license in 2026 and, according to investor materials, targets commercial operation in October 2029, and a 60MWh energy storage…
KOSPO (Korea Southern Power) met with Busan Mayor Jeon Jae-soo on October 14 to request the city's active cooperation for the Dadaepo offshore wind project.
The Chuja offshore wind project is expected to shrink by about 25%, from 2.37GW to 1.79GW, ahead of a fresh tender after the original developer withdrew. A baseline survey by Jeju Energy Corporation reduced the developable area after maritime traffic routes and marine ecosystems were excluded.
Huusteel, a large-diameter steel pipe manufacturer, has completed delivery of approximately 3,000 tonnes of offshore wind-grade large-diameter pipes to an overseas offshore wind project in October 2026.
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.
