Copenhagen Offshore Partners Reaches Major Milestone in Korean Wind Project

Copenhagen Offshore Partners (COP) has announced a significant milestone in the development of the 96MW Jeonnam 1 Offshore Wind Project in Korea. The project has achieved first power, marking a crucial step towards Korea’s energy independence and net-zero goals.

COP, in partnership with CIP (Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners) and SK Innovation E&S, has been instrumental in driving the development of the Jeonnam 1 project. As the exclusive offshore wind development partner for CIP, COP has led the project from inception to construction, working closely with local communities and stakeholders to ensure its successful implementation.

Construction on Jeonnam 1 commenced in early 2023, with turbine installation beginning in September 2024. The project is expected to reach full commercial operation in the first quarter of 2025, generating clean energy for approximately 60,000 households.

Jesper Krarup Holst, COP Partner, Head of APAC, and Chief Operating Officer of the Jeonnam 1, 2, and 3 portfolio, expressed his satisfaction with the project’s progress and thanked the team for their hard work and dedication.

COP is actively involved in developing a multi-gigawatt offshore wind portfolio in Korea, including the Jeonnam 2 and Jeonnam 3 projects, as well as the 1.5 GW Haewoori floating offshore wind project. These projects are being developed in close collaboration with local stakeholders and the Korean government to support the country’s ambitious renewable energy targets.

By contributing to Korea’s energy transition and promoting sustainable development, COP is playing a vital role in shaping the future of renewable energy in the region.
