March 29, 2024 – BadaEnergy, a portfolio of offshore wind projects in South Korea jointly developed by SK ecoplant, TotalEnergies, and Corio Generation, holds a content contest for college students in Ulsan under the theme of ‘Floating offshore wind projects to co-prosper with the local community.’

The contest designed by BadaEnegy, which is carrying out Gray Whale 1,2,3 floating offshore wind projects off the coast of Ulsan, aims to raise the understanding of the projects through contents containing young people's novel perspectives and vivid ideas, thereby exploring ways to cooperate with residents, fishermen, and the entire local community.

 

For participation, individuals or teams consisting of four or less are required to create and submit video or image work on the following subtopics: ▲Floating offshore wind technology for a sustainable future in Ulsan; ▲Necessity and urgency of offshore wind energy to achieve carbon neutrality in the era of climate crisis; ▲Necessity of floating offshore wind farms as new growth engines for the local community.

Any student of colleges and graduate schools located in Ulsan can participate in the contest. Applications will be received from Friday, March 29 to 6 p.m. on Friday, May 31. Participants are required to submit their works, along with the written application downloaded from the BadaEnergy official website’s events notice board (www.badaenergy.co.kr), to its official email address.

To help participants produce higher-quality contents, BadaEnergy will hold Open Q&As for five days from May 6 to 10. Any inquiry is allowed, for example, into information about offshore wind energy and feedback on work plans.

After submitted works are evaluated, a total of eight winners in the video and image categories will be selected. The winners will be awarded certificates and a certain amount of prize money.

“We are aware that the younger generation is more concerned than anyone else with addressing the climate crisis and local community issues. Through this contest, we hope that Ulsan students will be able to freely express their opinions and ideas including policy suggestions about the development of floating offshore wind farms in Ulsan,” says SK ecoplant Representative Heo Yong, an organizer of the contest. “We are keen and eager to reflect young people’s ideas and suggestions into the offshore wind projects to have common grounds with the local residents.”

BadaEnergy continues to expand its industry-academic cooperation programs with the Ulsan National Institute of Science & Technology (UNIST) and the University of Ulsan to foster local talents in offshore wind, and is actively conducting environmental, social and governance (ESG) activities for future generation environmental education and regional co-prosperity in Ulsan, including the ‘Together with Ocean,’ a carbon-neutral education campaign for elementary school students.
