CIP And Ignitis Renewables Win Auction In Estonia For Offshore Wind Power Installation.
Aker Offshore Wind won an auction to build an offshore wind farm off the coast of South Korea as part of the country’s plans to increase the share of renewable energy in its energy matrix.
Aker Offshore Wind’s proposal was US $ 1.6 billion for the adjacent maritime area of Ulleungdo, securing the rights for the development of an offshore wind facility, with the expectation that the energy generated by winds at sea will significantly contribute to the country’s ocean renewable energy production.
