The project, to be installed by the end of 2014, will be one of South Korea’s first commercial offshore wind farms, and the first to use Samsung’s 7MW machine.
The turbines will be installed in shallow waters off the coast of Jeju island’s Daejeong County, with operation scheduled to start in 2015.
The wind farm will be operated by Daejeong Offshore Wind Power (DOWP), a joint venture set up by Samsung Heavy and state-run power company Korea Southern Power last month.
