Largest Privately Led Offshore Wind Farm in South Korea Enters Commercial Operation

Submission statement: Jeonnam 1, South Korea’s first large-scale offshore wind project led by the private sector, has officially entered commercial operation. Developed by a joint venture between Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners (CIP) and SK E&S, the 96 MW wind farm was built using a non-recourse financing model and overcame significant regulatory hurdles. It’s expected to power 90,000 homes annually. This milestone represents a major step forward in Asia’s transition to clean energy and sets a precedent for public-private collaboration in sustainable infrastructure. Two more phases—Jeonnam 2 and 3—will bring the total capacity to 800 MW.
