South Korea will create its biggest-ever offshore wind power cluster by 2033 as part of efforts to expand its use of renewable energy, the industry ministry said Tuesday.
The envisioned wind farm will be built in waters off Sinan, some 300 kilometers southwest of Seoul in South Jeolla Province, consisting of 10 wind power complexes with a combined production capacity of 3.2 gigawatts (GW), according to the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy.
Its production capacity will be greater than that of two nuclear power plants, the ministry explained.
The Sinan cluster also compares with a 1.4 GW wind power complex, planned to be constructed in North Jeolla Province.
