English brief by Korea Wind Intelligence, koreawindintel.com
The Dadaepo offshore wind project in Saha District, which would become South Korea's first publicly led commercial offshore wind farm, is advancing through administrative procedures including conditional approval from the Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries for maritime traffic safety assessment and sea area utilization impact assessment. However, National Assembly member Jo Gyeong-tae, who represents the region, has expressed opposition to the project, drawing attention to how this could affect its progress. A regional National Assembly member's opposition can become a significant variable in securing community acceptance, which is a critical factor for project advancement.
On September 9, a spokesperson for Jo's office stated that "it is the member's firm position that the offshore wind project is not appropriate in light of Dadaepo's future."
