Wind Energy – Korea
A series of offshore wind power projects are ‘not approved’ due to insufficient transmission network, raising concerns about widely unemployment.
Recently, those projects were reviewed by the Electricity Commission, but most of them were rejected due to inability to connect to KEPCO’s grid.
According to EnergyOMNI most of the workforce who transferred from domestic public energy companies to overseas wind power generation companies is facing unemployment. If the current situation continues, it’s enough for wind power companies to withdraw from Korean business.
There are growing concerns that widely unemployment will occur in the industry as new offshore wind power generation projects in the country fail to receive approval one after another due to a lack of transmission networks.
