South Korea opens 1 GW solar tender with August bid deadline

Mercom India reports that the Korean New and Renewable Energy Center, part of the Korea Energy Agency, has opened bidding for 1 GW of solar projects in South Korea. The last date to submit bids is August 28, 2026, and successful bidders are expected to receive fixed-price contracts. The tender matters because it gives developers a clear near-term route to contracted solar capacity in a market balancing clean-power growth with land, grid and offtake constraints.
