By GlobalDataThe offshore wind facility will be built in three phases, with 500MW of capacity covered in the first phase. The remaining 1GW will be built in Phases II and III.
The project is supported by South Korea’s Namsung Shipping company and is scheduled for completion in 2027.
Once completed, it will be the country’s largest commercial-scale offshore wind farm.
Elenergy executive director Seung Han said: “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.
“With the wide experience of DNV’s experts on electrical infrastructure and especially on submarine power cables, we will be in an optimal position with their help, to keep the project on track with respect to scope, schedule and cost.”
