Aker Solutions, Principle Power Win FEED Deal for 1 GW South Korean Floater

Haewoori Offshore Wind 2 and 3, Copenhagen Infrastructure Partner’s (CIP) floating offshore wind projects in South Korea, have awarded a front-end engineering and design (FEED) contract to Aker Solutions and Principle Power for the floating foundations.

Haewoori 2 and 3 are planned to have a capacity of 500 MW each. The floating offshore wind projects will be located off the coast of Ulsan.

As part of the scope, Aker Solutions will coordinate the design and delivery of the floating foundation structures required for the Haewoori Offshore Wind project and perform the front-end engineering design of the inter-array cable, marshaling port, wind turbine integration, and transport and installation.

In addition, the company will carry out execution planning, and work with Haewoori Offshore Wind to engage with the Korean supply chain to maximise local engagement in the projects.

Principle Power will work under subcontract to perform the design of the floating platforms and mooring system based on its WindFloat technology.

Work will start immediately on the FEED and is due to be completed by November 2024.
