Busan’s first OWP targets May 2027 construction start

Monday, November 9 2026

Dadaepo Project

Busan Offshore Wind Power is developing the Dadaepo fixed-bottom offshore wind project in Busan, with 10 turbines of 9.9 MW each.

It targets a May 2027 construction start and completion by 2030.

Offshore wind development, which has been concentrated in the southwestern region including Jeollanam-do, is now preparing to bear fruit in Busan.

The Dadaepo offshore wind power project pursued by Busan Offshore Wind Power is a fixed-bottom offshore wind project that will install 10 wind turbines rated at 9.9 MW each in waters near Dadaepo Port in Saha-gu, Busan.

As the only offshore wind project currently underway in Busan, it is proceeding through licensing procedures with a target construction start in May 2027.

Despite some concerns about landscape and low-frequency noise, fishermen and residents who support the project expect it to create jobs for local youth and new income sources, while breathing new life into the western Busan economy.
