Vestas has signed a preferred supplier agreement with Hanwha Corporation E&C Division for the 390 MW Shinan Ui offshore wind project in Shinan County, South Jeolla Province, South Korea. 

Shinan Ui Offshore Wind, a special-purpose company established by Hanwha Corporation E&C Division, SK D&D, and KOEN, is overseeing the development of the project. The initiative will incorporate 26 units of V236-15.0 MW turbines, to be installed on stable foundations in the southeastern waters of Ui Island.
