The German renewable project developer wpd has created a joint venture with Taiwan Green Power (LeaLea Group) to jointly develop the offshore wind park site No. 28 with a planned capacity of 600 MW off the coast of Changhua (Taiwan). The project should be part of the third tender round in Taiwan and has already received an environmental impact assessment (EIA). In addition, wpd has closed the sale of a 25% stake in its 640 MW Yunlin offshore wind park to Thailand’s EGCO. The first phase of the project is expected to be commissioned by end-2020, while the second phase should be operational in the third quarter of 2021. Wpd is also developing the 350 MW Guanyin offshore wind project that is expected to be commissioned in 2022.
As Taiwan aims to exit nuclear power by 2025, the country targets to develop 1.2 GW of onshore wind power by 2020, and 5.5 GW of offshore wind power by 2025. Earlier in April 2020, RWE’s affiliate Innogy created a partnership with Taiwan's cement company Asia Cement Corporation to develop the 448 MW Chu Feng offshore wind project located off the northwest coast of Taiwan near Hsinchu City. The two parties plan to participate in the next grid allocation round in the country.
