SK Eco Plant has clinched a contract for the transportation and installation of foundations vital to the 532MW Anma Offshore Wind Power project. This venture marks a pivotal step towards bolstering the nation's offshore wind energy capacity.
Under this contract, SK Eco Plant is entrusted with the transportation and installation of 38 jackets, envisaged to reach heights of up to 74 meters and carry weights of up to 1850 tons. These substantial foundations are designed to support 14MW wind turbines and their accompanying blades.
The project's designated site is located in close proximity to Anma Island, situated within Yeonggwang-gun, Jeollanam-do. Construction activities are scheduled to commence in the first half of 2024, with the ambitious goal of establishing South Korea's inaugural utility-scale offshore wind power project.
The development of the Anma Offshore Wind Power project is under the purview of Equis, a key player in the renewable energy sector.
Park Kyung-il, CEO of SK Eco Plant, expressed his enthusiasm for the project, stating, “Following our involvement in Canada's green hydrogen project and the Texas solar power project in the United States, we are cementing our position as a global energy company. This is achieved by our continuous participation in South Korea's first utility-scale offshore wind power initiative.”
He further emphasized the company's commitment to a comprehensive renewable energy supply chain, encompassing business development, operations, equipment and materials manufacturing, all backed by professional construction capabilities. SK Eco Plant aims to provide a diverse array of energy solutions, both domestically and internationally, firmly rooted in the renewable energy sector.
