Charles has recently returned from a trip to Tiawan where he presented on Finance for Offshore Wind at an international conference. To accompany this visit he's produced a report on how Taiwan is the new offshore wind hotspot:
Taiwan is an offshore wind hotspot with key players such as Orsted (formerly Dong), Siemens, Macquarie and Mitsubishi Generation investing to capture early mover advantage. The focus by developers and investors on Taiwan is due to strong government commitment to an ambitious windfarm programme; a high Feed in Tariff (FIT); a positive business environment and a potential base for offshore wind throughout South-East Asia.
The offshore wind programme is a critical part of plans to replace nuclear power which will be shut-down due to safety concerns. By 2025, the government plans the installation of 600 offshore wind turbines with a total capacity of 3GW under the FIT regime; and a further 2.5GW through competitive auctions. The first, demonstration projects in the Taiwan straits are shown in Figure 1.
