Atlantis' chief executive officer (CEO) Tim Cornelius said: “We are delighted to enter into this agreement with such a highly respected, substantial, and experienced company like Hyundai Engineering & Construction.
“We have very complementary skills and experience in the marine power sector. Hyundai is seeking to expand into the construction of offshore energy projects in South East Asia and abroad, while Atlantis requires construction partners to build out our portfolio of tidal power projects in South East Asia.
“We want to leverage Hyundai’s expertise to accelerate existing projects and secure additional capacity both in the region and globally.”
Under the initial objectives of the SPA, the parties will initiate design and development of a 100MW tidal stream project in the south of Korea. The deal will also progress the design, development, and delivery of tidal stream projects that Atlantis is pursuing in South East Asia, such as Indonesia and the Philippines.
