Original Korean article: News1

South Korea's National Assembly Speaker Jo Jung-sik visited the Jeju Hallim offshore wind farm and praised it as an exemplary model for renewable energy development. During his inspection of the facility, Speaker Jo expressed strong support for expanding renewable energy projects across the country.

The Hallim offshore wind farm has been recognized for its community-focused approach, sharing power generation revenues with three neighboring villages. This revenue-sharing model demonstrates a commitment to ensuring local communities benefit from renewable energy development and has become a key feature of the project's success.

During the visit, several development proposals were discussed, including the designation of the site as a floating offshore wind demonstration complex and the connection of the Chuja wind power project to the national power grid. These initiatives are expected to strengthen South Korea's offshore wind infrastructure and accelerate the transition to clean energy.

Speaker Jo's visit underscores the government's commitment to supporting renewable energy projects as part of its broader strategy to achieve carbon neutrality and establish South Korea as a leader in sustainable energy technology.
