Taiwan awards 2.7 GW of capacity in its latest offshore wind tender

Taiwan's Ministry of Economic Affairs (MOEA) has announced the winners of its latest offshore wind tender (round 3.2), in which five projects were awarded, with capacity allocations totalling 2.7 GW.

The selected projects include Synera Renewable Energy Group’s 800 MW Formosa 6 project, Shinfox's 700 MW Youde project, Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners' 600 MW Fengmiao 2 project, Corio and TotalEnergies’ 360 MW Formosa 3 project and Enervest’s 240 MW Deshuai project. The selected developer will now have to submit a formal notice to the MOEA by 11 November 2024.

At the end of 2023, offshore wind represented 1% of Taiwan’s installed capacity (with 613 MW), as the island only installed its first offshore wind turbine in 2017. Onshore wind capacity stood at nearly 2.1 GW at end-2023. Currently, Taiwan has over 2.3 GW of wind projects under construction and over 25 GW under development.
