Through this business agreement, both companies plan to share domestic onshore and offshore wind power project development information, technology, development experience, and know-how to maximize synergy through continuous cooperation.

Previously, Kolon Global has maintained partnerships with the three major global wind power companies by signing supply contracts with Vestas (Taebaek Gadoksan Phase 1) in 2018, Enercon (Yeongdeok Hojimaeul) in 2022, and Siemens Gamesa (Pyeongchang Hoenggye) in 2023.

Currently, the wind power complexes operated commercially by Kolon Global include Gyeongju Wind Power Phases 1 and 2 (37.5 MW), Taebaek Gadoksan Phase 1 (43.2 MW), and Taebaek Gadoksan Phase 2 (21 MW). Construction is underway for Yangyang Manwolsan Phase 1 (42 MW), Yangyang Manwolsan Phase 2 (4.2 MW), Yeongdeok Haemaji (34.4 MW), Yeongdeok Hojimaeul (16.68 MW), and Pyeongchang Hoenggye (26 MW), while Taebaek Hasami Wind Power (17.6 MW) is also about to commence construction.

Kolon Global is developing a total of nine onshore wind power projects, including repowering in Yangsan. Six additional projects are planned for development next year, with stable EPC revenue and dividend income expected annually.

Additionally, Kolon Global is accelerating its entry into the offshore wind power business based on the development capabilities accumulated through onshore wind power projects and construction experience with offshore bridges. After obtaining permission for the 400 MW Wando Jangbogo offshore wind power project in August last year, the company is now proceeding with official permits and design. Environmental impact assessments are currently underway, with construction targeted for 2027.

A Kolon Global official stated, “We will accelerate securing wind power assets based on Kolon Global’s differentiated onshore wind power development know-how,” adding, “Our goal is to secure 1 GW of wind power assets and 150 billion KRW in dividend income by 2034 by expanding onshore wind power through repowering and renewal projects while advancing into the offshore wind power business.”
