DNV has been picked up as owner’s engineer for 1500MW offshore wind project in South Korea.
It has been appointed for fixed-bottom Chujin project of Elenergy Co.
The Chujin plant is likely to be the largest commercial-scale offshore wind farm in the country. It will come into operation in 2027.
The wind farm will be based at 10 km east of Chuja-do in Jeju City in southern Jeonam province. The farm will comprise around 100 wind turbines.
According to the company, in the role of the owner’s engineer, “DNV will drive the pre-Front End Engineering Design (FEED) and supervise contractors in the final design, procurement, construction, commissioning and operations phases to mitigate risks and prepare optimal solutions for the building stages of the project,” a report mentioned.
According to the company, the wind farm will be developed in three stages that includes 500MW for Phase I and additional 1 GW for Phases II & III.
Elenergy executive director Jun Seok Lee commented, "Navigating and managing technical risks and local market regulations are crucial. This is why we selected DNV as our technical advisor for this project - DNV is not only a global leader in offshore wind power engineering but also has an in-depth understanding of the reasons behind failures and non-conformities of the electrical infrastructure inside an offshore wind farm.”
The project is said to have the latest developments in offshore wind technology to produce clean energy.
