Hanwha Momentum, which will be divided into 100% subsidiaries, plans not to be listed for at least the next five years to protect shareholder value.
Hanwha plans to complete the project transfer and Split-off in early July after an extraordinary shareholders' meeting next month.
The reorganization is expected to further strengthen the business area of Vice Chairman Kim Dong-kwan, the eldest son of Hanwha Group Chairman Kim Seung-yeon. Both offshore wind power and solar power are vice chairman Kim's business areas.
