Jeonnam Offshore Wind 1, a 96-megawatt offshore wind project developed jointly by Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners, SK Innovation E&S (one of the largest conglomerates in South Korea) and Copenhagen Offshore Partners (the exclusive offshore wind development partner to CIP) has delivered its first power.
Located off the coast of Shin-an, Jeonnam Offshore Wind 1 is the first commercial-scale offshore wind project in South Korea. Construction on Jeonnam 1 started in early 2023 with turbine installation commencing in September 2024. Commercial operations are expected in first quarter 2025.
When fully operational, Jeonnam 1 is expected to provide enough green electricity to power approximately 60,000 households. The project has supported both local communities and the domestic offshore wind power industry in South Korea through multiple manufacturing and construction contracts with South Korean suppliers, as well as the use of local ports and facilities.
