By partnering with SK oceanplant, Corio plans to accelerate its business in Korea and other countries including its offshore wind farm projects in Chungsapo and Dadaepo in Busan, a bottom-fixed offshore wind project, SK ecoplant said.
Corio, a portfolio company of GIG, was founded in April 2022 and is developing offshore wind farm projects totaling more than 20 GW.

This partnership is expected to bring synergy to one of the fastest-growing markets in the world, the global offshore wind market”, said Seung-Chul Lee , CEO of SK oceanplant.
