Ocean Winds, a joint venture between and Engie, alongside Mainstream Renewable Power, has completed the geotechnical survey for the first phase of their 1,125-MW project. The first phase, known as East Blue Power, is set to have an installed capacity of 375 MW.

The month-long survey, conducted by the vessel Geo Mariner, gathered critical information about seabed conditions.

This data will guide the placement of turbines, the design of floating foundations and the offshore substation, as well as the planning of submarine cable routes, the companies announced in separate statements.

Ocean Winds and Aker Offshore Wind, the owner of Mainstream, secured exclusive rights in early 2022 to develop 870 MW of floating wind capacity off Ulsan's coast. Later that year, the partners obtained a second licence for 450 MW of capacity in South Korean waters.

The overall Korea Floating Wind project received approval from 's Ministry of Environment earlier in 2024.
