Jeonnam 1 Offshore Wind Project Begins Commercial Operations

The Jeonnam 1 Offshore Wind Project has officially entered commercial operation. Copenhagen Offshore Partners (COP) co-led the project's development on behalf of its owners, a joint venture between Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners (CIP) and SK Innovation E&S. COP serves as CIP’s exclusive partner for offshore wind development.

Located 9 km northwest of Jaeundo in Shinan County, Jeonnam Province, Jeonnam 1 is the largest privately led offshore wind power project in Korea, with a capacity of 96MW. Installation of the 10 wind turbines was completed in December 2024, followed by commissioning earlier this year, and the project is now in commercial operation. Jeonnam 1 is expected to produce 301 million kWh of electricity annually—enough to power about 90,000 Korean households for one year. Compared to traditional power sources of equivalent capacity, it is projected to reduce approximately 125,600 tons of carbon emissions per year.
