South Korean engineering consultancy Yooshin has been awarded a contract by KF Wind to provide engineering services for the onshore power transmission line associated with its planned 1.2 gigawatt (GW) floating offshore wind project off the coast of Ulsan.
Under the agreement, Yooshin will be responsible for preparing permitting documentation, offering technical support for regulatory approvals, conducting geological and topographical site surveys, and completing both basic and detailed design work for the onshore transmission infrastructure.
KF Wind is a joint venture between Ocean Winds and Mainstream Renewable Power, focused on developing large-scale floating wind capacity in South Korea. The project forms part of the country’s broader efforts to expand renewable energy deployment.
“This basic and detail design contract marks a significant milestone in delivering clean energy through KF Wind’s offshore wind farm,” said project director Austin Park. “By collaborating with Yooshin, a firm with extensive experience and an optimised engineering solution, we will efficiently advance the onshore power transmission line installation while ensuring the successful development of core infrastructure for sustainable energy transition.”
The Ulsan floating wind project is one of several initiatives underway in South Korea as the government pushes to meet its carbon neutrality goals and transition away from fossil fuels. The contract with Yooshin is seen as a step forward in aligning technical planning with national energy targets.
