Pacifico Energy Korea appointed to Jeonnam Wind Power Association Executive Board
Pacifico Energy Korea has been appointed as an Executive Board member of the Jeonnam Wind Power Association at the Association’s 2025 General Meeting convened in Muan, Jeonnam Province, on March 19. With this landmark appointment, Pacifico Energy Korea becomes not only the sole foreign member of the Executive Board, but also the first U.S.-based offshore wind developer on the Executive Board.
As an Executive Board member, Pacifico Energy Korea has designated Seung-Jun Lee, Vice President and Head of Project Development of the company, to represent the company and participate in regular Executive Board activities.
With a career spanning nearly 30 years in the global energy sector, Lee has managed engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) projects across South Korea, Taiwan, and Singapore. Prior to his current position, he played a key leadership role in successfully securing approval for a 1.6 GW electricity business license for one of the largest offshore wind projects in Korea. A seasoned expert in offshore wind, Lee has spearheaded the development of a 3.2 GW Jindo Offshore Wind Project Cluster since joining Pacifico Energy Korea in 2024.
Pacifico Energy is the first U.S. energy company to enter Korea’s offshore wind market. The company recognizes South Korea holds significant potential to become a hub for clean energy transition in the Asia-Pacific region and has identified Jeonnam Province as a key location for the offshore wind development. Pacifico Energy Korea is currently developing the 3.2GW offshore wind project cluster in Jindo County, Jeonnam Province. This project marks one of the largest offshore wind clusters of its kind in the Asia-Pacific region, led by a single developer at a single location.
Seung-Jun Lee, Vice President of Pacifico Energy Korea, said, “As the only U.S.-based offshore wind developer in Korea and a company rooted in Jeonnam Province, we aim to provide new momentum to promote U.S.-Korea clean energy investment and strengthen the offshore wind supply chain capabilities in the Jeonnam region. Pacifico Energy Korea will enhance collaboration with the local industry and suppliers to accelerate the development and deployment of Jeonnam’s offshore wind projects.”
Lee also emphasized, “Leveraging our pipeline of over 10 GW offshore wind projects under development across the Asia-Pacific region, including South Korea, Japan, and Vietnam, Pacifico Energy Korea will continue to support Jeonnam’s suppliers to pave the way for the expansion of the offshore wind supply chain market presence in the region.”
