Abstract

Large-scale offshore wind power is emerging as a viable solution to achieve carbon neutrality and solve climate change. As power generation complexes require ample space for construction, they create conflicts with residents near the construction site. To resolve the issue with residents, Korea, along with other countries, has developed policies that focus on influencing public perception. However, as the contents of such policies changed several times in a short period in Korea, they were differently applied depending on the timing of the project. This study examines how Korean offshore wind power site development policies, particularly the ones focusing on swaying public perception, were applied differently by regions.
