Last year, BLIX acquired its first South Korean project for an unknown customer and is currently offering more.

Charlie Cheowoo An said, “Korea has developed the renewable energy sector in line with the global energy transition paradigm, and the next decade is more important than ever, especially for the offshore wind sector. Korea has extensive construction experience and a strong competitive advantage in infrastructure projects with high levels of difficulty. With this DNA, Korea is expected to be a success in the offshore wind power business. BLIX Consultancy will be the best partner for Korean clients by reducing the risk and leading them to the success of the projects. “

Mike Cholmin An said, “I am very excited to introduce BLIX Consultancy to the Korean market. There are now many offshore wind projects in Korea with the “Green New Deal Policy”. Proper project management is therefore more important than ever. BLIX Consultancy’s team of experts will be an excellent advisor and partner to Korean clients and will make the project a success. “

BLIX Consultancy has more than 12 years of experience in onshore and offshore wind energy and solar projects in which more than 20 GW of green energy have been realized. BLIX Consultancy is headquartered in Utrecht and can look back on a success story of offshore and onshore wind projects worldwide, including the 1,044 MW Hai Long offshore wind farm project off the coast of Taiwan.

Managing Directors Roeland Steenhuis and Albert van der Hem: “We have been working with Charlie and Mike since 2019 and are impressed by their knowledge of the offshore wind market in South Korea and the local supply chain. We are very pleased that we can now intensify this cooperation and look forward to working with you to expand our business in Korea. “
