Vestas turbines lined up for 600-MW wind project offshore S. Korea

Vestas Wind Systems A/S has signed a preferred supplier agreement with Korea South-East Power Company (KOEN) to install 40 units of its V236-15.0 MW turbine for the 600-MW Wando Geumil offshore wind project in South Korea.

If the project, located offshore Wando-Gun, South Jeolla Province, goes ahead, Vestas will also operate and maintain the wind farm for over 20 years.

Turbine deliveries are expected to start in the fourth quarter of 2025, with the wind park planned to come online in the third quarter of 2026.

It would be the Danish wind turbine maker’s first collaboration with KOEN.

The project would contribute to South Korea’s goal of generating 20 percent of its energy from renewable sources by 2030,” commented Srdan Cenic.
