In collaboration with The ELBE Alliance, Blue Cluster is organizing a trade mission to South Korea for SMEs active in renewable offshore energy in November 2023. This mission aims to establish contacts with local organizations and companies that are active in the renewable energy.

Why Korea?

The wind energy sector can become the difference-maker that gives South Korea’s renewable energy progress that much-needed boost. The country’s vast potential for offshore wind is already starting to attract some of the leading developers in the industry. What remains to be seen is the scale of investments and the speed of the transition. Judging by the first signs, South Korea’s future promises to be ‘windy’.

As part of its Green New Deal, South Korea aims to generate 20% of its power with renewables by 2030. The target for offshore wind capacity is 12GW, a significant increase from the 124.5MW the country has today. Next to fixed-bottom offshore wind, South Korea is aiming to build 10GW of floating offshore wind in Ulsan and South West Korea.
