Pondera and Hanmi Global were awarded a contract from Jeju Hanlim Offshore Wind Co. to perform the role as an owner’s engineer.
The Jeju Hanlim Offshore project is the third offshore wind project in the Korean waters and the second one on a commercial scale. It is located near the Tamra Offshore project just off the coast of Jeju Island. The project size is approximately 100 MW.
A consortium that consists of Korean KEPCO E&C in the lead combined with KOMIPO, DAELIM and BARAM are developing the project since 2011.
It is expected that many other projects will follow as the Korean Governmental target to reach 20% renewables in 2030 is still far away. The plan is to develop 13 GW of offshore wind by that time.
