The results of the second phase of the offshore wind power block development capacity allocation of the Ministry of Economic Affairs of Taiwan (MOEA) have been officially released. Five Taiwanese offshore wind farms, including Youde, Formosa 6, Fengmiao 2, Haiding 1, and Deshuai, have been allocated in order, with a total generation capacity of 2.7 GW.
After the completion of the bidding price opening operation, the MOEA will complete the capacity allocation operation after stacking the plan data in accordance with the order and the selection of suppliers. The ministry will officially notify the selected enterprises to sign an administrative contract before November 11, 2024. Until that date, the selected enterprises must each submit a formal notice to proceed.
The 570MW Greater Changhua 3 project developed by Danish company Ørsted had also applied for the tender. However, it was not able to secure an allocation slot, as the MOEA had earlier said that only five wind farms would be selected due to site overlapping.
