At 10:00 a.m. on the same day, at the Incheon Port International Passenger Terminal conference room, Park outlined six major strategies for offshore wind power in Incheon: ▲ an offshore wind power industry cluster ▲ a power supply network for RE100 demand companies ▲ a training system for offshore wind power specialists ▲ designation of special opportunity zones for offshore wind power development ▲ establishment of a dedicated offshore wind power support organization ▲ and securing a publicly led power grid system.

Park stated, "We will swiftly create a specialized hinterland port for offshore wind power and complete a full-cycle industrial ecosystem from installation to maintenance and repair by building a cluster that integrates energy, logistics, and industry. We will directly connect the clean electricity generated off the coast of Incheon to local businesses."

He also promised, "We will systematically nurture skilled professionals by collaborating with local universities such as Inha University and Incheon National University, and by including the soon-to-open 'Incheon Energy High School.' From cooperative consultations with residents to activating military consultation channels with the Ministry of National Defense, we will ensure the project quickly gains momentum."

Finally, he added, "By having the public sector lead the construction of joint connection facilities and transmission networks, we will accelerate the project and ensure the stability of the national energy grid. I, Chandae Park, will open a new era where clean energy generated from Incheon's winds creates jobs and welfare for Incheon's citizens."
