Corio and

total capacity of 1.5 gigawatts in Ulsan.
May 17, 2022 – Corio Generation(“Corio”),
Green Investment Group’s new specialist offshore wind business, and TotalEnergies,
a global multi-energy company, both of which participate in the floating
offshore wind farm projects in Ulsan, announced on May 17 that they partnered
with the ChildFund Korea and supported the ‘Eco Mom! Happy Kids!,’ an eco-friendly
program operated by the Ulsan Nam-gu Community Welfare Center.
The program aims to inform children and their parents
of how serious environmental problems are and to clean up the environment to solve
the problems. A series of environmental conservation activities, such as eco-friendly
education, water quality monitoring, and plogging (gathering litter while
running) will be conducted around the Yeochoen Stream for about nine months
from April to December this year. The program was designed to make sure that
people in local communities become local environmental activists who could take
the lead in improving and protecting their village environment.
Having
made a donation to the ‘Eco Mom! Happy Kids!' program, the two companies will
voluntarily participate in the plogging event to be held around Ulsan Yeocheon Stream
in June.
“Corio
and TotalEnergies have provided us with consistent support by helping improve
children’s classrooms at the welfare center and sending gifts to mark Children’s
Day in 2019 and 2020,” said Oh Se-geol, director of the Ulsan Nam-gu Community
Welfare Center. “This year, they have taken one step further. I would like to express my deepest gratitude for their interest
in creating a better environment for local communities and future generations
in Ulsan and for helping residents carry out environmental improvement
activities.”
“I am pleased
to work with local communities in Ulsan to create a culture in which people
become conscious of environmental protection and actively take on the responsibility,”
Shin Jung-won, Country Chair of TotalEnergies Korea, said at the donation
delivery ceremony. “We will spare no effort to create a healthier life for
residents and a better future for children by thinking through how to address
climate change and other environmental issues in cooperation with local
communities.”
Corio and
TotalEnergies also plan to deliver the ChildFund Korea’s environmental
education kits (a board game for recycling education) to local participants in the
program and to provide education on carbon neutrality and offshore wind power
generation.
Corio and TotalEnergies, which have formed a joint business to develop a portfolio of 5 large floating offshore wind projects in Korea(BadaEnergy protfolio), have continued to progress the floating offshore wind projects with a total capacity of 1.5 gigawatts(project names, Gray Whale Offshore Wind Farm Ⅰ,Ⅱ,Ⅲ) in Ulsan, obtaining the electric business licenses (EBLs) for three off the coast of Ulsan by February this year from the Electricity Regulatory Commission under the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy.
