View original image[Asia Economy Reporter Choi Seoyoon] Doosan Enerbility announced on the 3rd that its subsidiary in Vietnam, Doosan Vina, has signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) for "offshore wind foundation supply cooperation" with Ørsted, the Danish state-owned energy company.
The signing ceremony, held at the "Denmark-Vietnam Sustainable Energy Summit" in Hanoi, Vietnam, commemorating the 50th anniversary of diplomatic relations between Vietnam and Denmark, was attended by key figures from both countries, including Denmark's Crown Prince Frederik, Vietnam's Deputy Minister of Industry and Trade Tang Hoang An, Ørsted's Chief Procurement Officer Virginie Van de Cote, Doosan Enerbility Wind BU Head Kim Jae-yi, and Doosan Vina CEO Kim Hyo-tae, among others.
Through this MOU, Doosan Vina plans to supply monopiles, the foundation structures of wind turbines, to offshore wind projects worldwide, including Southeast Asia, the Asia-Pacific region, and Europe, led by Ørsted. Monopiles are cylindrical structures made by welding large thick steel plates, installed below the seabed to secure offshore wind turbines. Due to their relatively easy manufacturing and installation, their application is expanding mainly in Europe.
Kim Hyo-tae, CEO of Doosan Vina, said, "Since its establishment in 2007, Doosan Vina has been recognized for its capability in manufacturing large structures by supplying major equipment for power generation and petrochemical plants, as well as port cranes, to over 30 countries worldwide. Through this cooperation with Ørsted, we will expand our presence in the global offshore wind market, including Vietnam, where 7GW of offshore wind power is expected to be developed by 2030."
