Offshore wind turbine manufacturer Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy announced this week that it had received a firm order for 47 of its 8 megawatt (MW) offshore wind turbines for the 376 MW Formosa 2 Offshore Wind Farm project off the coast of Taiwan.
Danish offshore wind developer Ørsted announced last week that the final wind turbine had been installed at the 120 megawatt (MW) Formosa 1 Phase 2 offshore wind farm off the coast of Taiwan — the first commercial-scale offshore wind farm in Taiwan.
The second phase of the Formosa 1 offshore wind farm off the coast of Taiwan has generated its first power, according to developer Ørsted, with six of the eventual twenty wind turbines beginning to generate power in early September.
The Global Wind Energy Council published its inaugural Global Offshore Wind Report this week, which shows that not only has offshore wind grown at an average of 21% each year since 2013, but that the sector could install an additional 200 gigawatts (GW) of capacity by 2030.
Spanish renewable energy giant and offshore wind energy leader Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy has announced this week that it has received a firm order to supply its 8 megawatt (MW) offshore wind turbines to Ørsted’s 900 MW Greater Changhua 1 & 2a Offshore Wind Farm In Taiwan.
Spanish offshore wind turbine manufacturing giant Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy announced this week that it has been awarded the firm wind turbine supply contract for the 640 megawatt (MW) Yunlin offshore wind power plant in Taiwan.
Taiwan’s Ministry of Economic Affairs has finally announced the 2019 Feed-in Tariff (FiT) for offshore wind projects revealing new numbers which, though not what the industry would have preferred, is nevertheless not as bad as was originally feared.
In a blow to the immediate future of offshore wind in Taiwan, Danish power company Ørsted has suspended development of its local projects following delays imposed by the Taiwanese Government’s failure to issue a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) under 2018’s Feed-in Tariff (FiT) rate.
Offshore wind energy giant MHI Vestas announced on Tuesday that it had signed a contract for the manufacture of wind turbine towers in Taiwan with CS Wind/Chin Fong as the company continues to build up its footprint in the next global offshore wind energy hub.
MHI Vestas and Siemens Gamesa explain how to typhoon-proof an offshore wind turbine.
