MYTILINEOS is one of the few European companies that have successfully entered the Asian market with the construction of a 1.55MW Solar PV project in Yangpyung-gun. The Yangpyung-gun project annually generates approximately 2,000 units of renewable energy certificates (RECs), which are sold to SK Corporation under a 20-year offtake agreement (PPA).
Furthermore, MYTILINEOS is actively involved in the construction and commissioning of several PV projects with a combined capacity of 26MW in different provinces, including Jeollabuk-do, Gyeongsangnam-do, and Chungcheongnam-do. These projects hold long-term PPA contracts with one of the subsidiaries of South Korean conglomerate GS Corp.

SK E&S, since its inception as a city gas holdings company in 1999, has made strides to become Korea’s No.1 private LNG company, completing its LNG value chain that embraces the whole world. It is the only company with the full capacity to create synergies among four core businesses: Low-carbon LNG, Renewable energy, Hydrogen, and Energy Solution. Based on these key businesses, the Company will make a transition to its unique Green Portfolio. And the transition will enable it to present viable ways to reach Net Zero, thereby putting it on course for evolving into a global leader in the green energy sector.
