The Public-Led Offshore Wind Auction Promotion Plan introduces a dedicated public-led allocation within Korea’s fixed-price renewable electricity auction system. In the 2025 first-half wind auction, the government announced around 1,250 MW of fixed-bottom offshore wind capacity, including approximately 500 MW for the newly created public-led auction segment and 750 MW for the general segment. The measure operationalises the offshore wind auction roadmap and strengthens supply-chain and energy-security evaluation criteria. It should be treated as a feed-in premium or fixed-price competitive procurement scheme because selected projects receive long-term fixed-price contracts for renewable electricity.
