Unison Targets 1 Trillion Won in Sales by 2030 with Simultaneous Expansion in Onshore and Offshore Wind Power
Unison, a company specializing in wind turbines, is accelerating its business expansion from offshore to onshore wind energy, leveraging its offshore wind project orders. The company’s strategy is to move beyond simply supplying wind turbines by broadening its scope to include proprietary power plant development and operations and maintenance (O&M) services, thereby advancing towards becoming a comprehensive wind energy company.
On August 28, Unison announced that it had recently signed a 99.287 billion won wind turbine supply contract for the Gochang Offshore Wind Power Project. The total value of the EPC contract is 297.38 billion won, with Unison’s portion representing approximately 246% of the company’s annual sales in the previous year.
The Gochang Offshore Wind Project involves the creation of a 76.2-megawatt (MW) wind power complex in the offshore areas near Sangha-myeon and Haeri-myeon, Gochang-gun, Jeollabuk-do. Unison will supply twelve 6.35 MW-class wind turbines for the project. The contract period runs from August 26, 2026, to June 18, 2030.
This order is considered one of the foundations for Unison’s growth strategy to attain its target of 1 trillion won in sales by 2030. The company plans to use the Gochang Offshore Wind Project to build a track record in offshore wind supply and project execution, which it aims to leverage for future orders with subsequent projects.
In the offshore wind sector, Unison is also pursuing the supply contract for the Hanbit Offshore Wind Power Project, which follows the Gochang project. The Hanbit Offshore Wind Power Project is a 340 MW fixed foundation offshore wind development near Anmado and Songido in Yeonggwang-gun, Jeollanam-do. Unison is scheduled to supply twenty-five 13.6 MW-class wind turbines for this project.
The company is also proceeding with onshore wind projects. The Yeongam Samho Wind Power Project, a 36 MW development led by Jeonnam Development Corporation, was selected in the 2025 fixed-price contract competitive bidding process and is undergoing subsequent procedures with construction targeted for the first half of 2027. Unison’s 4.5 MW-class wind turbines are slated for use as the main turbines in this project.
The Yukbaeksan Wind Project in Samcheok, Gangwon-do, is Unison’s own development. With a total installed capacity of 30.8 MW, the project is currently undergoing administrative procedures for the establishment of the wind power complex. The goal is to break ground in the first half of 2027 and commence commercial operation in the first half of 2029. Unison’s 4.4 MW-class wind turbines will also be deployed for this project.
Beyond supplying wind turbines, Unison is expanding into the operation and maintenance of wind power complexes. The company is strengthening its O&M business by leveraging its accumulated experience and expertise with domestic onshore wind projects. Recently, Unison directly acquired a crew transfer vessel (CTV) for offshore wind power operations. The company plans to further extend its service offering by deploying the CTV at offshore wind power plant sites for turbine inspections and maintenance.
Through this business expansion, Unison aims to build an integrated business structure covering everything from wind power plant development and equipment supply to operations and maintenance, thereby moving beyond the role of a simple wind turbine manufacturer. In particular, as Korea's offshore wind market enters the stage of full-scale project awards, acquiring a track record in supply, in-house development capabilities, and O&M experience is expected to serve as a key competitive advantage going forward.
An official from Unison stated, "Based on the technology and business experience we have accumulated, we are strengthening our foundation in onshore wind while also expanding our supply record in offshore wind. We aim to further solidify our position as a traditional domestic turbine supplier by reliably executing ongoing projects and consistently growing our in-house development business and wind turbine supply."
