Will a separate bidding system for floating offshore wind farms work in 2024?
2024 saw the implementation of a separate bidding system for floating offshore wind farms (OWFs). The success of these projects will be assessed in early 2025, with adjustments made to the bidding system depending on the 2024 outcomes. The Renewable Portfolio Standard (RPS) orders the use of renewable energy sources in electricity generation.
How much does a GW of offshore wind cost?
Of the total 1.25 GW on offer, around 500 MW will be reserved for public-led offshore wind bidding and the remaining 750 MW will be for the general bidding market. The ceiling price has been set at KRW 176,565 (USD 128.6/EUR 113.3) per MWh, the same as in last year's auction.
What is the 2024 public-led large scale offshore wind development support project?
