South Korea opened its first commercial wind power plant on the southern island of Jeju on Friday, stepping up its renewable energy initiative, a state-run utility company said.
Korea South-East Power Co., which is wholly owned by the state-run Korea Electric Power Corp., said the 30-megawatt complex, composed of 10 wind power turbines, opened on the western cost of Jeju following two months of tests.
Paik Un-kyu, Minister of Trade, Industry and Energy attended the opening ceremony alongside company officials.
