Vestas, KEPCO Plant Service & Engineering (KPS) and KMC Line have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to support Korea’s offshore wind sector, specifically, the operation and maintenance (O&M) segment of the market.
According to Vestas, the MoU aims to accelerate the development of a skilled workforce and high‑quality offshore wind O&M capabilities in Korea.
Under the agreement, Vestas, KPS, and KMC will collaborate on establishing a wind power training centre and specialised O&M training programmes for offshore wind service technicians.
The three companies will also explore opportunities for collaboration in O&M activities in offshore wind projects in Korea.
“This partnership brings together complementary strengths: Vestas’ global expertise in wind turbine technology and services, KPS’ deep experience in power plant operations, and KMC’s capabilities in the maritime sector” , said Anders Brohm , General Manager of Vestas Korea.
“By working together, we aim to develop the specialized talent essential for the growth of Korea’s offshore wind industry, build a robust O&M ecosystem that supports long‑term project performance, and create lasting value for Korea’s wind energy industry.”
In December last year, Vestas received a wind turbine order for the Shinan-Ui offshore wind project, which marked the company’s first offshore wind order in South Korea. The deal for the 390 MW project includes 26 V236-15.0 MW offshore wind turbines and a 20-year service agreement.
