Equinor has signed an MoU with state-owned East-West Power to build 3 GW of offshore wind developments in South Korea, the Norwegian energy company announced on Wednesday.

The company plans to develop South Korea’s first offshore wind farm.

“South Korea aims to become one of the leading global markets for offshore wind in the next decade,” said Pål Eitrheim, executive vice president in renewables at Equinor.
