Korea South-East Power Co. (KOSEP), a South Korean state-run power firm, said Thursday it has completed a wind farm in the United States, becoming the first South Korean firm to operate a large-scale wind farm in the world's largest economy.

KOSEP will operate the Novus wind farm with an annual capacity of 287,000 MWh in Oklahoma for 20 years. KOSEP is a unit of the state-run Korea Electric Power Corp.

Forty wind power turbines were installed at the wind farm and started operation early this month, according to KOSEP.

The power turbines were manufactured by DeWind Co., a U.S.

affiliate of South Korean shipbuilder Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering Co.

Daewoo Shipbuilding took over DeWind in 2009 for US$50 million as part of efforts to diversify its revenue sources as new shipbuilding orders fall.

KOSEP is also working on construction of another wind farm in the U.S. with a capacity of 40 megawatts. (Yonhap News)
