"Establishing Win-Win Measures for Offshore Wind Power and Fisheries"... Ministry of Industry and Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries Hold Council Meeting
[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Bo-kyung] On the 25th, the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy and the Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries discussed measures to improve offshore wind power systems together with the wind power and fisheries industries at the Sejong Convention Center.
According to the government's 'Renewable Energy 3020 Implementation Plan,' expanding offshore wind power is being promoted as a key task of the energy transition policy. However, concerns such as the reduction of fishing zones and impacts on the marine environment have been raised, highlighting the need to seek improvement measures through mutual consultation.
The Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy and the Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries have been discussing various system improvement measures since March by forming a practical consultative body for offshore wind power with related organizations to prevent conflicts caused by project implementation in advance and to seek coexistence among industries.
Attending today's council were Joo Young-jun, Director General of the Energy Resources Office at the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy; Oh Un-yeol, Director General of the Marine Policy Office at the Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries; Park Hee-jang, Vice Chairman of the Wind Power Association; and Seo Jae-chang, Chief Countermeasure Committee Member of the Suhyup Offshore Wind Power Countermeasure Committee.
They discussed ways for coexistence and cooperation among offshore wind power, fisheries, and the marine environment, and reviewed improvement measures discussed in the practical consultative body.
