en.Wedoany.com Reported - All monopile foundations for South Korea's Yeonggwang Nakwol offshore wind project have been installed. The project is developed by Nakwol Blue Heart (referred to as Nakwol Wind), with a total installed capacity of 364.8 MW.

Located off the coast of Nakwol-myeon in South Jeolla Province, the project plans to deploy 64 Vensys wind turbines, each with a rated power of 5.7 MW. Expected to commence commercial operation later this year, it will become one of South Korea's first offshore wind farms to achieve commercial-scale operation.

In December 2025, the wind farm achieved its first grid connection, and turbine installation work is currently progressing as planned.

The monopile foundations were jointly supplied by South Korea's GS Entec and Dutch foundation manufacturer Sif, and subsequently installed offshore by Samhae ENC, Toseong Construction, and Hansan Maritime using the jack-up vessel "Hansan 1".

Taihan Cable & Solution announced in July last year that it had laid export cables and inter-array cables for the Yeonggwang Nakwol offshore wind project, with related electrical connection works completed concurrently.

According to previously disclosed contract arrangements, Nakwol Wind has signed a grid connection agreement with the Korea Electric Power Corporation (KEPCO) and a 20-year Renewable Energy Certificate (REC) purchase and sale agreement with KEPCO's wholly-owned subsidiary, Korea Southern Power, effective from the project's commercial operation date.
