South Korea Develops 20MW Offshore Wind Turbines to Achieve 25GW Target by 2035
South Korea is nearing the completion of its offshore wind supply chain, targeting 25GW of offshore wind power by 2035. The Ministry of Climate, Energy and Environment is developing 20MW-class offshore wind turbines, with Doosan Enerbility and Unison involved in the project.
The country already has capabilities in substructures, towers, and submarine cables. Doosan has developed 8MW and 10MW turbines and is testing the 8MW model for the Yawol Offshore Wind Complex, set for completion in 2029.
Unison is preparing for the commercialization of its 10MW turbine after testing. The global offshore wind capacity reached 83GW by 2024, with China leading installations. South Korea aims to secure large turbine technology to enhance its supply chain and export potential.
