KF Wind Secures Grid Connection for 1.1 GW Floating Offshore Wind Farm in South Korea

KF Wind, a floating offshore wind project being developed off the coast of Ulsan by Ocean Winds and Mainstream Renewable Power, has secured a Transmission Service Agreement (TSA) with Korea Electric Power Corporation (KEPCO) for a total of 1,125 MW of clean power to be injected into Korea’s national grid.

The agreement covers the first phase of the project, East Blue Power (375 MW) and the second phase, KF Wind (750 MW) with the interconnection point for the project located at KEPCO’s Shinonsan onshore station in Ulsan.

Commenting at the signing ceremony with KEPCO today, Austin Park, KF Wind’s project director, said, “This agreement marks a very important milestone in the development of KF Wind and a major step forward towards getting the project ready for construction.”

KF Wind is actively making progress in the development of its sites after achieving approval of the Environmental Impact Assessments, from the Ministry of Environment, Trade and Industry. Upon completion, the Ulsan floating offshore wind farm cluster, that includes KF Wind, and totalling around 6 GW, is expected to become the world’s largest floating offshore wind area, significantly contributing towards Korea realising its carbon neutral targets.
