A delegation of Korean parliamentarians and representatives from government agencies have visited Denmark to learn about the European country's experiences in offshore wind development.
The visit to the Danish Energy Agency on 19 November was part of a cooperation agreement between the two countries on renewable energy launched at the start of the month.
The Korean delegation was keen to learn about the regulatory framework, including offshore wind auctions, that Denmark has established to support wind power development, while at the same time promoting its public acceptance.
South Korea plans to expand renewable energy capacity to at least 20% by 2030 from about 7% in 2016. This will require 48.7GW of new clean power capacity to be built, DEA said.
DEA added that Danish technology could likely be used to help mature the Korean wind sector.
