SINGAPORE — Vena Energy will launch two offshore wind projects, Wei-Na and Wei-Long, with a total capacity of 1.8 GW, to participate in auctions under Taiwan Phase 3 Offshore Wind Zonal Development.
The 1,200-MW Wei-Na Offshore Wind Project will be located 20 km off the coast of Miaoli County, with a site area of about 126 sq km and at a water depth of about 52 m to 78 m.
The 600-MW Wei-Long Offshore Wind Project will be located 43 km outside Changhua County and spans an area of approximately 76 sq km, with a depth of about 40 m to 62 m.
The two offshore wind projects are expected to use large wind turbines with a single capacity of 14 MW to 20 MW.
Vena Energy is a fully integrated renewable energy developer, owner and operator with more than 200 wind and solar projects under operation, construction and development, including more than 10 GW of offshore wind capacity across the Asia-Pacific region.
Vena Energy is a portfolio company of Global Infrastructure Partners, an independent infrastructure fund manager with a track record of more than 200 GW of renewable energy capacity in operation, construction and development, and a solid foundation of offshore wind experience.
“The development and generation of offshore wind projects is instrumental to accelerating the energy transition. We are excited about Taiwan’s potential for offshore wind power. We will leverage our experience in other Asian markets and utilize our Corporate PPA capabilities with international off-takers to develop a robust pipeline in APAC.” said Daniel Astbury, head of wind with Vena Energy.
Will Feng, general manager of offshore wind development in Taiwan, added, “Vena Energy has operated and invested across the Taiwan renewable energy sector for several years, successfully building over 400 MW of solar capacity. The selected offshore wind sites have been carefully assessed to exclude environmentally sensitive and restricted areas. We will utilize our local experience and continue to engage with all our stakeholders to develop our offshore wind pipeline and contribute to Taiwan’s net-zero emission target."
