South Korean Firm To Supply Power Equipment For Ørsted’s Hornsea 4 Offshore Wind Farm
The title of this post, is the same as that of this article on offshoreWIND.biz.
This is the sub-heading.
Denmark’s Ørsted has awarded a contract to Hyosung Heavy Industries for the supply of ultra-high voltage power equipment for the Hornsea 4 offshore wind farm in the UK
These two paragraphs add a bit of detail.
Under the contract, the South Korean company will supply 400 kV ultra-high voltage transformers and reactors, essential components for improving power quality for the 2.4 GW Hornsea 4 offshore wind project.
The most recent contract further strengthens the company’s presence in Europe, where it has accumulated over 1 trillion won (about EUR 667 million) in orders this year, as reported by the company.
Hyosung Heavy Industries seem to be doing rather well at supplying electrical gubbins in Europe.
But then Korean companies seem to be doing well in Europe and especially the UK, after the state visit of the Korean President and his wife in November 2023.
In the last century, we did very well dealing with Korean companies with Artemis; the project management computer system, that I wrote.
In Hyundai Heavy Sets Sights On Scottish Floating Offshore Wind, I describe some of our dealings there.
Conclusion
From other posts, I have written, it looks like the UK and Korea are building a strong partnership with offshore wind, and a secondary one with tidal power might be emerging. We also shouldn’t forget the partnership in North London over football.
