Haesong Offshore Wind Power, a corporate entity of Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners (CIP) specializing in renewable energy investment and operations in Denmark, announced on May 11 that Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy has been selected as the preferred bidder. The company also stated that it has signed a Capacity Reservation Agreement (CRA) to strengthen cooperation for the Haesong Offshore Wind Power 1 and 3 projects.

This agreement follows the trilateral Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) signed in April among Haesong Offshore Wind Power, Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy, and Doosan Enerbility to expand collaboration on the localization of offshore wind power in Korea.

Through this agreement, Haesong Offshore Wind Power explained that it has now secured a stable production capacity for the turbines required for the project. In particular, regarding domestic assembly of turbines for the Haesong Offshore Wind Power 1 and 3 projects, the company stated that it received a Letter of Intent (LOI) from Doosan Enerbility. The plan is to assemble Siemens Gamesa’s wind turbines at Doosan Enerbility’s domestic plant and then supply them to Haesong Offshore Wind Power.

The signing ceremony was held at the Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy office in Taipei, Taiwan, on this day.

Joris Hol, CEO of the Haesong Offshore Wind Power Project, stated, "The signing of this CRA marks an important milestone that expands our partnership from the previous MOU to the actual execution phase of the project. Given the high growth potential and robust industrial foundation of Korea’s offshore wind market, we expect that this collaboration will contribute to the sustainable growth of the domestic offshore wind industry and enhance the competitiveness of the industrial ecosystem."

Kwon Jian, Executive Director of Supply Chain Strategy at Haesong Offshore Wind Power, said, "This contract provides an opportunity to further strengthen collaboration with Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy and to advance the growth of the domestic supply chain. We plan to continue expanding our cooperation to further enhance the long-term competitiveness of the supply chain for the Haesong Offshore Wind Power 1 and 3 projects."

Haesong Offshore Wind Power is pursuing the construction of a 1GW offshore wind farm in the waters off Sinan, Jeollanam-do. The company has completed the power generation business permit and the environmental impact assessment review. CIP is responsible for the investment and comprehensive management of the project, while Copenhagen Offshore Partners (COP), CIP’s global offshore wind developer, is in charge of implementation, permitting, and construction and other development work for the project.
