Renewable energy consultancy K2 Management is supporting Taean Wind Power and Dohwa Engineering on the Taean offshore wind farm in the Yellow Sea off South Korea.
K2 has signed a memorandum of understanding with the two companies to work as the owner’s engineer for the project, as well as provide consultancy services on the financing and construction.
The scope includes a cost analysis of the main equipment, transportation, installation, substructure, grid linkage and construction of the offshore power plant.
K2 Management will also carry out a preliminary feasibility study including an energy yield assessment, a geophysical investigation, a partial geotechnical study and conceptual engineering designs.
K2 Management country director Kwang-Woon Jung said: “It is a privilege to work with Taean Wind Power and Dohwa Engineering on this milestone project, supporting the delivery of another offshore development in Korea from a very early stage.
“Our offshore expertise, drawn from years of experience globally, will ensure that a high standard, robust project is delivered.
“Signing the MoU and service contract will bring together three strong partners who share the common goal of progressing the offshore wind industry, developing a strong local supply chain and ensuring that the Korean offshore industry continues to go from strength to strength.”
K2 Management has been working in Korea since 2011 and is currently providing technical consulting services to eight onshore and seven offshore wind projects in the region.
