Korea Wind Energy Forum.

Held 24 Sept. during Hamburg Wind Energy Fair

Dr Lee Rimtaig of the KWEIA Korea Wind Energy Industry

Association.

Currently 95% of energy is imported, so there's a strong wish to

increase independence. Today's capacity is only 556MW (2013).
2030 target is 7.5GW
But the "Dream" of KWEIA is 23GW (yeh, right...)
This compared with a technical max potential of 50GW.

Overall long term the aim is 11% renewables by 2035

The focus has shifted because of considering the peninsular

geography towards exploiting the offshore zones- although
several island locations are covered by this scope.
Due to deep water locations of up to 60m there is R&D in
progress towards the floating foundations.
Examples given how they are now entering the offshore wind;
Samsung 7
Hyundai 5.5
Hyosung 5

So my conclusion is that they are counting on the best prospects

to find in their home market, with export to German and British
projects looking questionable. They will look to keep sufficient
capacity of large turbines from local turbine manufacturers.
