???? Corio Generation welcomes the enactment of South Korea’s Offshore Wind Special Act. The landmark legislation is designed to accelerate offshore wind development by streamlining permitting and consenting processes. This is expected to drive the expansion of offshore wind projects and strengthen related industries across the country. “We appreciate the government’s long-term commitment to offshore wind development and coordinating diverse stakeholder interests," says Woojin Choi, Head of South Korea at Corio Generation. "The Offshore Wind Special Act is a significant milestone that will ensure the orderly and efficient expansion of offshore wind power, playing a crucial role in South Korea’s decarbonisation journey.” The new Act enables the government to expand offshore wind power by identifying potential offshore wind sites and conducting competitive tenders to select developers responsible for finalising development, construction and operation. Additionally, it consolidates 29 permitting and consenting procedures into a single administrative office, addressing long-standing concerns among developers and investors regarding complex regulatory processes previously hindering project development in South Korea. Corio Generation is developing offshore wind projects in Busan, Ulsan, and South Jeolla Province in collaboration with its partners, local companies and public power generation corporations. With the Act now in place, Corio is well-positioned to accelerate its existing projects and proactively participate in new government-led initiatives.
