KF Wind secures grid connection for 1.1 GW floating offshore wind farm in South Korea
  • KF Wind confirms Transmission Service Agreement (TSA) was reached with Korea Electric Power Corporation (KEPCO) for a grid connection of 1,125 MW, divided into two phases.
  • Grid interconnection will enable the efficient transmission of the clean energy generated by the KF Wind floating wind project of around 1,125 MW of installed capacity, to the mainland, ensuring a stable and reliable power supply while maximizing the project’s contribution to the overall energy grid.

10 October 2024. Ulsan, 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 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 totaling around 6 GW, is expected to become the world’s largest floating offshore wind area, significantly contributing and supporting Korea realizing its carbon neutral targets.
