A&O advised SeAH Wind on funding the world's largest wind monopile manufacturing facility

SeAH Wind, a subsidiary of SeAH Steel Holdings (SeAH Steel), was established in 2019 to bolster SAH Steel’s position in entering the burgeoning offshore wind market by leveraging SeAH Group’s expertise and experience in steel pipe manufacturing, offshore engineering, and renewable energy.

The deal marks the world’s biggest wind monopile factory project and the UK’s first offshore wind monopile project, creating 750 jobs by 2027 and 1500 supply chain jobs. The factory will annually produce up to 200 monopiles which form the foundation of offshore wind turbines, making it a critical component for the growth of the global renewable energy sector.

The A&O team was led by partner Henry Sohn with support from associate Alice Park.
