Copenhagen Offshore Partners completes EIA for offshore wind project in Korea

This will contribute to the country’s 2030 renewable energy targets.

Renewable energy developer Copenhagen Offshore Partners (COP) has completed the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) consultation with South Korea’s Ministry of Environment and Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy for its Haewoori Offshore Wind project in Ulsan.

“The completion of the EIA consultation is meaningful as we focus on corporate social responsibility and sustainable development across our entire floating offshore wind portfolio in Ulsan,” said Jonathan Spink, COP Korea co-CEO and CEO of Haewoori Offshore Wind Co., Ltd.

The EIA process involves an analysis of the project’s potential environmental impacts on offshore and onshore ecosystems, including marine and onshore environmental quality, noise, and socioeconomic factors.

The Haewoori Offshore Wind Project is a 1.5 gigawatt floating project planned approximately 80 kilometres off the coast of Ulsan. This is seen to contribute to Korea's 2030 renewable energy goals and the global RE100 initiative, which aims for companies to source 100% of their electricity from renewable sources.

COP leads the development for the facility on behalf of the project’s owner, Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners through its CI V fund.

Global clean energy tech market to hit $2t by 2035

This is fuelled by investments as countries aim to enhance energy security.The global clean energy technology market is projected to grow from $700b in 2023 to over $2t by 2035, nearing the scale of the crude oil market, according to the International Energy Agency (IEA).This growth is fuelled by significant investments in clean technology manufacturing as countries aim to enhance energy security, maintain economic competitiveness, and cut emissions. Investment is concentrated in regions with established positions in clean energy, particularly China, the European Union, the UK, and increasingly, India.Whilst the US, EU, and India have taken measures to support their clean energy sectors, China is expected to remain the world's manufacturing hub. By 2035, China's clean technology exports are forecasted to exceed $340b—comparable to projected oil export revenues from Saudi Arabia and the UAE.Southeast Asia, Latin America, and Africa contribute less than 5% of global cleantech production value, yet the IEA suggests that these areas still hold opportunities within the clean energy economy. Developing economies, for instance, could leverage competitive advantages to advance in the value chain beyond resource extraction.The IEA said Southeast Asia could become one of the most cost-effective regions for producing polysilicon and wafers for solar panels over the next decade.
