The Year in Review
2020 has reinforced the true globalisation of the GIG platform. Highlights for the period include:

• Partnering with global energy leader, Total, to co-develop a 2.3 GW portfolio of 5 floating offshore wind projects in Korea. Construction for the first 500 MW phase of the partners Ulsan project is due to begin by the end of 2023.
• Acquisition of the Zajączkowo Wind Farm, GIG’s second Polish asset, and execution of its first virtual PPA with leading lighting company, Signify.
• Completion of the acquisition of Savion, expanding GIG’s US solar development pipeline to over 10 GW.
