[Yeonggwang=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Seong-jeong] Jeonnam Yeonggwang-gun (Governor Kim Jun-seong) announced on this day that from the 24th to the 25th, they conducted benchmarking in Jeju-do, the domestic leader in offshore wind power, to establish systematic response measures for the offshore wind power project and to explore directions for the development of new energy industries.

The three departments of Marine Fisheries, Investment Economy, and Culture Tourism visited the Tamna Offshore Wind Power Complex, Korea Energy Technology Institute, Gimnyeong National Wind Power Research Complex, and Jeju Provincial Office to share various information related to offshore wind power and held in-depth discussions on improvements to offshore wind power, regional win-win measures, and the utilization of offshore wind power for tourism.

Governor Kim Jun-seong said, “We are making multifaceted efforts to systematically respond to offshore wind power, which is a core policy of the government’s Green New Deal and Jeollanam-do’s Blue Economy,” and added, “We will promote clean and safe energy policies together with local residents.”
