Accelerated Wind Farm Development
Taiwan's offshore wind market is set to catch-up quickly with Europe...
The Taiwanese target
of 5.5GW of capacity
by 2025 is credible
with strong
government support
linked to a
commitment to end
nuclear generation
International
developers and
investors are flocking
to Taiwan attracted by
the scale and
attractive conditions
