Offshore wind developer Hexicon Korea has signed a sale and purchase agreement for Yeonggwang Project, a 1.2GW floating wind facility located off South Korea’s south-west coast.
Under the agreement, Hexicon Korea will divest its 40% stake in the project to an undisclosed buyer, who will own 100% of the project and assume its financial ownership going forward.

“We build a profound value for a site, making it ready for long-term investors to take over at any given time.
“This is exactly what we have managed to do in this case, reaching yet another milestone in Hexicon’s journey.”

Hexicon Korea is a joint venture (JV) created by Swedish offshore wind developer Hexicon and Korean company COENS.
Earlier this year, Hexicon formed a JV company in Greece with local company EAMAA.
The Hexicon Power JV will focus on developing floating offshore wind projects offshore from Greece.
Its creation came ahead of the launch of Greece’s new legal framework for offshore wind this year.
Hexicon created the JV as part of its strategy to become an ‘early-stage developer’ in key markets worldwide by collaborating with partners and local companies.
The company said the project will support Greece’s plan to increase its renewable energy generation capacity through offshore wind parks while reducing its reliance on fossil fuels.
