Hyundai Heavy Industries Co., Ltd. (HHI), the world’s biggest shipbuilder and a leading wind turbine supplier today announced that it won an order to supply 20 sets of 2 MW wind turbines from DaeMyoung GEC Co., Ltd. for Yeongam Wind Farm in Jeollanam-do, South Korea. The work scope also includes installation supervision and commissioning and, additionally, a long-term maintenance service agreement is in discussion for signature soon.

Featuring its reliable performance with proven technology and low cost of energy in low wind conditions, HHI’s 2 MW turbines are scheduled for delivery in July this year. Upon completion in this November, the 40 MW Yeongam Wind Farm, which is Korea’s largest onshore wind farm built with wind turbines supplied by a South Korean company, will generate enough electricity for approximately 30,000 households annually.

With its total annual production capacity of 600 MW, HHI, South Korea’s biggest wind turbine supplier, has also recently installed combined 24 MW wind turbines in Taebaek Wind Farm and Changjuk Wind Farm in Gangwon-do, South Korea.

HHI plans to install a 5.5 MW prototype offshore wind turbine northwest off the coast of Jeju Island by the end of this year.
