Mainstream, Ocean Winds bag grid deal for 1.1 GW wind farm

This will cover the first and second phase of the Ulsan project.

Over 1,000 megawatts (MW) of renewable energy will be added into South Korea’s national grid after Mainstream Renewable Power and Ocean Winds have secured a transmission service agreement with Korea Electric Power Corporation (KEPCO) for the KF Wind offshore wind project located off the coast of Ulsan.

In a statement, Mainstream Renewable said the agreement covers the first phase of the project, East Blue Power (375 MW), and the second phase, KF Wind (750 MW). The interconnection point for the project is located at KEPCO’s Shinonsan onshore station in Ulsan.

The company said it is making progress in the development of its projects after authorities approved their environmental impact assessments.

The Ulsan floating offshore wind farm cluster, including KF Wind, is set to become the world's largest, totaling around six gigawatts.
