Wind Power in South Korea - between stagnation and innovation | with Choong-Yul Son
Blessed with natural resources, especially wind and sun, the Republic of Korea is one of the most technologically innovative countries. Modern wind power started more than 25 years ago and several of the country’s major companies have invested in developing wind technology.
The country has big ambitions, particularly in the offshore sector, but currently has a modest installed capacity of 2 Gigawatt. A lack of comprehensive policy and social integration are major barriers to wind power investment, while the country's industry has a huge demand for climate-friendly energy.
Choong-Yul Son, a retired professor, is one of the early pioneers of wind power in Korea and has been instrumental in establishing some of the key organisations promoting wind power in Korea and beyond. He explains the current challenges and prospects of the Korean wind energy market.
