Shinan County has established a new milestone in South Korea's offshore wind power industry.
On July 16, the groundbreaking ceremony for the Shinan Uwi Offshore Wind Power Project was successfully held at the Shinan National Sports Center.
The ceremony was attended by over 200 participants, including Shinan County Mayor Kim Tae-sung, Minister of Climate, Energy and Environment Kim Sung-hwan, and the Mayor of Gwangju-Jeonnam, Min Hyung-bae, along with representatives from local councils, relevant organizations, businesses, and community residents, all celebrating the new beginning of South Korea's renewable energy industry.
The Shinan Uwi Offshore Wind Power Project is one of the largest offshore wind power projects in Korea, located in the southern waters of Uwi Island in the Docho-myeon district of Shinan County.
