South Korea launches solar and offshore wind tender
The ministry plans to connect solar and wind companies that enter into fixed contracts under this tender with RE100 demand companies to ink power purchase agreements.
2024 saw the implementation of a separate bidding system for floating offshore wind farms (OWFs). The success of these projects will be assessed in early 2025, with adjustments made to the bidding system depending on the 2024 outcomes. The Renewable Portfolio Standard (RPS) orders the use of renewable energy sources in electricity generation.
Of the total 1.25 GW on offer, around 500 MW will be reserved for public-led offshore wind bidding and the remaining 750 MW will be for the general bidding market. The ceiling price has been set at KRW 176,565 (USD 128.6/EUR 113.3) per MWh, the same as in last year's auction.
MOTIE selected the city of Incheon as the location for the '2024 Public-Led Large Scale Offshore Wind Development Support Project.' This project aims to establish offshore wind farms with a total capacity of 2.0 GW across 554 km² in the IC1, IC2, and IC3 areas of Incheon Eungjin territorial waters and the exclusive economic zone (EEZ).
