Sinan-gun, Study Tour to Denmark's Advanced Sites for Offshore Wind Power Activation

Meeting with the Danish Fishermen's Association... Visit to Samswe Island

Shinan-gun, Jeollanam-do (Governor Park Woo-ryang) conducted an advanced field study in Denmark, a leading country in renewable energy, for 6 nights and 8 days starting from the 26th of last month to learn advanced cases for promoting offshore wind power.

According to the county on the 6th, the delegation began their visit with the hinterland port necessary for offshore wind power operation (Esbjerg Port), followed by visits to the maintenance port, State of Green, Danish Energy Agency, Middelgrunden Offshore Wind Farm, a meeting with the Danish Fishermen's Association, and Samsø Island.

In particular, the visit to the Middelgrunden Offshore Wind Farm, a representative case of a resident participation-type renewable energy project, provided a meaningful opportunity to discuss the resident participation system and solutions. Through the meeting with the Danish Fishermen's Association, they communicated ways for offshore wind power and fisheries to coexist harmoniously.

Governor Park Woo-ryang said, “The advanced field study in Denmark was a great opportunity to foster the renewable energy industry and reflect it in our county’s renewable energy policies. We will do our best to ensure that the establishment of the Shinan offshore wind power complex contributes to achieving the government’s 2030 national greenhouse gas reduction target, as well as creating new income sources for local residents.”

Meanwhile, Shinan-gun is making multifaceted efforts such as designing the power complex and establishing basic plans, developing alternative projects for fishermen, and creating coexistence models for fisheries to build the world’s largest single-area offshore wind power complex.
