Siemens Gamesa and Doosan Enerbility to cooperate in South Korea

The agreement lays the foundation for strong local content offerings in the South Korean offshore wind market for the future. The implementation of the partnership scope is subject to successful offshore wind power orders in the South Korean market.

The framework agreement covers three areas for knowledge exchange on technology in which the two companies will collaborate closely in South Korea. Doosan will assemble Siemens Gamesa’s offshore wind turbine nacelles in a Doosan facility currently in the design phase, undertake turbine assembly for Siemens Gamesa machines in staging harbors as well as the offshore construction of projects using Siemens Gamesa machines, and perform offshore services on selected orders involving Siemens Gamesa machines.

Marc Becker, CEO of Siemens Gamesa’s offshore business, said “We are delighted to enter into this framework agreement with Doosan Enerbility. We are eager to bring our market-leading offshore skills including our unique offshore Direct Drive nacelle technology to South Korea.”

“Both of us being companies with our own offshore wind turbine models and solid track record, we aim to cooperate on broadening our participation in the Korean offshore wind power market and actively pursue promotion of the domestic offshore wind power ecosystem,” said Hongook Park, CEO of Doosan Enerbility’s Power Services Business Group.
