EDF Renewables enters South Korean offshore wind development

It acquired shares in West Sea Energy 1 Co., Ltd., which is exploring an offshore wind project.

EDF Renewables has entered South Korea’s offshore wind market following its 100% takeover of Shell Overseas Holdings Ltd.'s shares in West Sea Energy 1 Co., Ltd., which is exploring the development of a large-scale offshore wind project in Yeonggwang.

“This acquisition demonstrates our commitment to contributing to the South Korean government's target of 14.3 GW of offshore wind power installed by 2030,” said Vincent Boulanger, CEO of EDF Renewables in South Korea.

Wind measurements have been conducted in three designated zones. The company will continue to develop the project, which has an estimated capacity of up to 1.5 gigawatts (GW).

EDF Renewables targets to obtain an electricity business licence by 2025.

Aside from Europe and North America, the company is also developing renewable energy projects in major markets, such as China and India. As of the end of 2023, EDF Renewables operates a net installed wind and solar capacity of 12.8 GW (21.2 GW gross) worldwide.

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.
