Corio, BP to fund $1.2b for Korean offshore wind power projects

The agreement is one of the deals formed during the South Korean President’s state visit.

Two UK-based energy firms, Corio Generation and BP, have pledged investments worth $1.2b that will support the offshore wind sector in South Korea.

Through the investment, Corio and BP will add to the demand for Korean companies to set up tower structures, turbines, power cables, and additional core materials and equipment. They also aim to bolster local economies and generate new jobs for repair and maintenance, the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy said.
