Abstract

The objective of this study was to contribute to domestic offshore wind farms by reasonably predicting the expected completion time and installed power generation capacity of offshore wind projects in South Korea. Offshore wind power is drastically regarded as a core tool for clean energy transition and industrial decarbonization in the fight against the climate crisis globally. Especially in South Korea offshore wind power is the main tool in partaking in RE100 and K-RE100, and the Korean government aims to install 14.9 GW of offshore wind farms by 2030. However, this seems to have been significantly delayed due to the complex process of obtaining permits for offshore wind power in Korea. Thus, a reasonable prediction of power generation and a timeline for the final construction are imperative. To establish the delay time for permit licenses, classified location factors were included into site analysis. These factors comprised reviews of transmission and military operability, environmental impact assessment, maritime traffic safety examination, wind resource assessment and an analysis of current offshore wind projects. According to the analysis, the majority of offshore wind projects currently being developed in Korea are predicted to be delayed by 3-5 years as they are among the criteria included in key discussion points for obtaining permits. The cumulative installed power capacity and annual power generation after construction are expected to be 37 GW and 97 TWh respectively.
