Mingyang Smart Energy has secured an order from Woori Technology to supply offshore wind turbines for the Aphae 80MW offshore wind project in South Korea.
This milestone marks MingYang’s entry into the Korean market as the first Chinese OEM, the turbine manufacturer said.
Located in Jeollanam-do, south-west Korea, Aphae is set to be the first privately-led offshore wind farm over 50MW.
The project said 13 6.5MW offshore turbines, leveraging Mingyang’s proven technology for optimal performance in low wind speed conditions along with typhoons.
The hardware will be locally manufactured WTGs at the factory in Sacheon, Gyeongsangnam-do, Korea.
FEED works are scheduled in early 2024.
Mingyang said: “Offshore wind energy is pivotal for South Korea to address climate change in the APAC region.
“Together with our valued clients and partners, Mingyang remains committed to supporting Korea’s climate initiatives and contributing to the growth of the domestic offshore wind industry by delivering high-performance, quality products, and solutions.”
