Copenhagen Offshore Partners (COP) announced that the Haewoori Offshore Wind project has finished the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) consultation with Korea’s Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy.
This represents a first for an offshore wind initiative in Ulsan, Korea.
Copenhagen Offshore Partners (COP) is leading the development, and Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners, its owner, is advancing the project through its CI V fund.
The Haewoori Offshore Wind Project is a 1.5-gigawatt floating project expected to spread across 80 kilometres off the coast of Ulsan, Korea.
The offshore wind project will contribute toward Korea’s 2030 renewable energy goals and the global RE100 initiative.
