Wedoany.com Report-Oct 12, KF Wind has secured a transmission service agreement (TSA) with the Korea Electric Power Corporation, ensuring the delivery of 1.125GW of renewable energy to South Korea’s national grid.

The TSA is a pivotal arrangement that facilitates the integration of two phases of the floating offshore wind project: the 375 MW East Blue power phase and the 750 MW KF wind phase.

The power generated by these phases will be interconnected at KEPCO’s Shinonsan onshore station in Ulsan, bolstering the region’s clean energy supply.

KF Wind project director Austin Park stated: “This agreement marks a very important milestone in the development of KF Wind and a major step forward towards getting the project ready for construction.”

The project is a joint venture between Ocean Winds and Mainstream Renewable Power.

The advancement underscores the commitment to supporting South Korea’s green energy ambitions and its transition towards sustainable power sources.

KF Wind has been advancing the development of its sites, having received approval for the Environmental Impact Assessments from the country’s Ministry of Environment, Trade and Industry in August 2024.

The geotechnical survey for the East Blue power site was completed in September, utilising the Geo Mariner, a vessel specialised for such surveys.
