Doosan Enerbility said the contract is valued at 575 billion won ($430 million) and covers the full EPC scope, including the supply of turbines.<\/p>\n<p>The company said Wednesday this marks its first commercial contract for its 8-megawatt offshore wind turbine, the DS205-8MW, which it independently developed in 2022 using domestic technology.<\/p>\n<p>The turbine has obtained international certification from UL, according to the company, and was designed to perform efficiently under South Korea\u2019s relatively lower wind-speed conditions compared with Europe.<\/p>\n<p>Under the agreement, Doosan Enerbility will supply the turbines, while providing key equipment and oversee installation and construction. Following completion, the company will also provide long-term maintenance services to ensure stable operations.<\/p>\n<p>Construction of the offshore wind farm is scheduled to be completed in March 2029, Doosan Enerbility said.<\/p>\n<p>Lee Hyun-ho, head of Doosan Enerbility\u2019s Plant EPC Business Group, said the deal is significant as it combines the first deployment of the company\u2019s 8-megawatt turbine with full EPC responsibilities for a large-scale offshore wind project.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBased on proven technology, we aim to contribute to revitalizing South Korea\u2019s offshore wind ecosystem,\u201d Lee said.<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n                            &#13;<\/p>\n<p>                                <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ajupress.com\/discovery\/reporter?bylineName=Lee Nak-yeong&amp;bylineEmail=nakk@ajunews.com\" class=\"photo\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">&#13;<br \/>\n                                                                <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/default_img.png\" alt=\"Lee Nak-yeong \uae30\uc790\"\/>&#13;<br \/>\n                                                                <\/a><\/p>\n<p>                            &#13;<\/p>\n<p class=\"copyright\">&#13;<br \/>\n                                Copyright \u24d2 Aju Press All rights reserved.                                                            <\/p>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"&#13; &#13; Doosan Enerbility\u2019s 8-megawatt offshore wind turbine, DS205-8MW\/ Courtesy of Doosan Enerbility&#13; &#13; &#13; &#13; SEOUL, December&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":5617,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[410,409,408,3383,4660],"class_list":{"0":"post-5616","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-doosan","8":"tag-doosan","9":"tag-doosan-enerbility","10":"tag-doosan-group","11":"tag-offshore-wind","12":"tag-yeonggwang-wind-farm"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5616","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5616"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5616\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/5617"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5616"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5616"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5616"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
