Vestas has signed a supplier agreement with Korea South-East Power Company (KOEN) for the 600 MW Wando Geumil offshore wind project in Wando-Gun, South Jeolla Province, South Korea.
Vestas will supply and install 40 units of the V236-15.0 MW turbine. Vestas, one of the top wind turbine makers, will also deliver 20 years of operation and maintenance service for the wind farm when operational.
“Aiming to become a leader in offshore wind, Vestas is committed to support decarbonisation of the country as well as the Asia Pacific region, in close partnership with our customers,” Purvin Patel, President of Vestas Asia Pacific, said.
“KOEN and Vestas will work together to unleash the potential of offshore wind in the west coast of the country and contribute to South Korea’s goal of generating 20 percent of its energy from renewable sources by 2030,” says Srdan Cenic, Country Manager of Vestas Korea & Vice President, Head of Sales Offshore of Vestas Asia Pacific.
Vestas said delivery of the wind turbines will be expected to begin in the fourth quarter of 2025, with commercial operation scheduled for the third quarter of 2026.
