Under the memorandum, Doosan Heavy will provide wind power generators to overseas wind power projects won by KEPCO, the company said in a press release.
The key affiliate of Doosan Group developed the nation’s first 3-megawatt offshore wind power plant system in 2011.
As of now, it is operating and building wind power plants that amount to a total capacity of 207 MW.
KEPCO has expanded its wind power business overseas. In December 2015, it obtained an order from Jordan’s National Electric Power Company to build an 89.1MW-class wind power plant in the Fujeij area.
