Eurus Energy has started construction on a new wind power project in South Korea. The project is called Hajang 5 Wind Power. It will have an installed capacity of 13.5 megawatts (MW). The facility is being developed by Hajang 5 Wind Power Co., Ltd., a unit of Eurus Energy Holdings Corporation.
The new wind farm is located in the southern part of Gangwon-do, in the cities of Taebaek and Samcheok. Both areas are situated on a plateau and already host other renewable projects. Eurus Energy operates two other wind farms in Taebaek, Samsu Wind Power and Gowon Wind Power.
The Hajang 5 Wind Power project is planned to begin commercial operations in November 2026. Once operational, it is expected to provide electricity for around 13,000 households in South Korea. The company also projects that the facility will help reduce carbon emissions by approximately 20,000 tons per year.
In addition to Hajang 5, South Korea has a number of smaller wind and solar initiatives. For example, a pilot micro-wind turbine system is being tested near Jeongseon in Gangwon-do. This system includes five turbines, each with a capacity of 10 kilowatts, installed to power remote agricultural storage facilities. The total installed capacity of this local project is 50 kilowatts.
Another example includes rooftop solar panels recently installed at public schools in Gyeonggi Province. One such installation, completed earlier this year, supplies 150 kilowatts of solar power to a cluster of five schools. The generated electricity offsets daytime energy use and feeds surplus power back into the local grid.
At the same time, municipal governments in Ulsan and Daejeon are collaborating with research institutes to integrate small battery storage systems into their existing solar installations at city-owned buildings. These systems range in capacity from 100 to 300 kilowatt-hours.
