K2 to provide design and engineering services for 504 MW Taean Offshore Wind Farm
K2 Management (K2M) has been selected for design and engineer services for Taean Wind Power’s 504 MW offshore wind farm in South Korea.
With substantial climatological and topographical constraints limiting options for the development of onshore wind and solar in South Korea, offshore wind presents a clear route for the country to reduce its dependency on imported fossil fuels.
Following the delivery of a preliminary feasibility study and site screening in the initial stages of the development, K2M, in partnership with Dohwa Engineering, will now deliver the next stage of the project. This will include the design of the turbine foundations, inter-array, export cables, and offshore substation.
K2M and Dohwa will also carry out the energy yield assessment and manage the invitation to tender and permitting processes, with the goal of streamlining the project and ensuring it remains on schedule.
Construction of Taean Offshore Wind Farm is scheduled to begin in July 2023, with a completion date of 2026.
