Doosan Enerbility, 10MW Offshore Wind Power International Certification.. First Korean Company

[Financial News] Doosan Enerbility announced on the 23rd that its 10MW offshore wind turbine (model name DS205-10MW) developed by the company has obtained Type Certification from the international certification body UL (Underwriters Laboratories). This is the first time a domestic company has received international certification for a 10MW-class offshore wind model.
10MW model is an upgraded version of the 8MW model developed by Doosan Enerbility in 2022. It started demonstration in Yeonggwang, Jeollanam-do from February and obtained international certification after completing on-site demonstration tests in April and verifying design and test data. This model has a blade rotation diameter of 205m and a total height equivalent to about 80 floors of an apartment, reaching 230m. It is designed to achieve a utilization rate of over 30% even in low wind speed environments of 6.5m/s.
Doosan Enerbility, which started its offshore wind business in 2005, has supplied offshore wind turbines to the Jeju Tamla (30 MW) project in 2017, the Jeonbuk Southwest Sea (60 MW) project in 2019, and the Jeju Hallim (100 MW) project in 2025, holding the highest record of offshore wind achievements in Korea. It has contributed to the creation of the domestic offshore wind ecosystem by raising the localization rate of parts, which stayed at about 30% at the beginning of the business, to over 70% currently.
Son Seung-woo, head of Power Service BG at Doosan Enerbility, said, “We have laid the foundation to contribute to the government's renewable energy expansion policy with the development of Korea's first 10MW offshore wind turbine,” and “As it is an achievement made with over 150 domestic partners, we will take the lead in revitalizing the domestic supply chain through active business expansion.”
The government presented a goal to expand the wind power generation facility capacity to 40.7GW by 2038 through the 11th Basic Plan for Electricity Supply and Demand announced last February. Currently, the cumulative installed capacity of domestic wind power generation is only 2.3GW, so rapid expansion is expected. The government is actively promoting the distribution of domestic offshore wind power through policies such as the ‘Offshore Wind Special Act’, ‘Renewable Energy-Centric Energy Transition Acceleration’, and ‘Energy Highway Construction’.
