Arup has been selected by Korea Offshore Wind Power to deliver front-end engineering design for Phase 2 of South Korea’s landmark West South Offshore wind project.
Collaborating with Yooshin Engineering Corporation and COWI, Arup will be responsible for designing the offshore substation topside, substructure and subsea cable for this pivotal renewable energy development.
Phase 2, set to generate 400MW of clean energy, lays a solid foundation for an ambitious 2.4GW clean energy programme, positioning South Korea as a frontrunner in offshore wind development. Arup’s appointment underlines the firm’s growing expertise in renewable energy infrastructure and strengthens its presence in Asia’s rapidly expanding offshore wind sector.
“This partnership represents a crucial step in realising South Korea’s offshore wind ambitions. Arup’s collaborative approach and technical excellence have been instrumental in building trust throughout this process,” said Byeon Byung Seok, manager of the wind power department at Yooshin Engineering.
