The project is Vestas’ first offshore wind order in South Korea, supporting the country’s clean energy transition. It will consist of 26 V236-15.0 MW offshore wind turbines supported by a 20-year service agreement to support reliable and optimised asset performance. Vestas’ flagship offshore wind turbine, the V236-15.0 MW received its type certification in 2023.
“We are proud to partner with Hanwha Ocean on this milestone project in South Korea and introduce our industry-leading V236-15.0 MW offshore wind turbines to South Korean waters” said Purvin Patel, President of Vestas Asia Pacific. “These turbines, featuring world-class technology, are already being deployed in their inaugural European projects, with production ramping up to enable large-scale global deployment. Vestas brings decades of offshore experience and together with our customers, we are committed to driving the large-scale deployment of offshore wind in South Korea and delivering clean, secure and homegrown energy for the country.”
Turbine deliveries are scheduled to commence in 2027, with commercial operations of the wind farm expected to begin in 2028.
The Shinan-Ui offshore wind project will play a major role in South Korea’s clean energy programme, which aims to triple renewable energy generation in the country by 2030.
