Wind Energy – Korea
Pacifico Energy Korea (PEK) and HSG Sungdong Shipbuilding have signed an MoU for the fabrication of substructures for the 3200MW Jindo offshore wind farm cluster off the coast of Jindo County, South Jeolla Province.
The partnership, the first between Korean and American offshore wind companies, aims to accelerate the green energy transition and strengthen regional supply chains in Korea. It is the first partnership between Korean and US offshore wind power companies in the Korean domestic offshore wind power substructures.
“One of the key elements for the development of the 3.2GW Jindo offshore wind farm cluster and for Korea to become a ‘hub of green transition’ in the Asia-Pacific region is cooperation between offshore wind power developers and domestic suppliers,” said PEK chief executive Seungho Choi.
“The cooperation between Pacifico Energy Korea and HSG Seongdong Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering is an agreement in the field of offshore wind power infrastructure signed by an American offshore wind power developer to further strengthen its relationship with the domestic offshore wind power supply chain and to support Korea’s growth in the Asia-Pacific offshore wind power market.”
