Formosa Wind Farm – Taiwan

End User: Green Investment Group / Swancor

In 2017, the Taiwanese Government signalled a major shift in its energy policy by committing to increase the volume of renewables in its electricity supply from 5% to 20% by 2025. Simultaneously, coal and nuclear power are being phased out, with targets to reduce coal consumption to 30%.

The transition to a renewable energy led system is being driven by the expansion of offshore wind power and the market’s ambition to deliver 5.7 GW of offshore wind by 2025 and an additional 10 GW by 2035.

Together, the Formosa 1, Formosa 2 and Formosa 3 wind farms could deliver up to 2.5 GW of this ambitious target, powering the equivalent of over 2 million Taiwanese homes with clean, green power each year.

GIG is now using the expertise developed on Formosa 1 to develop Formosa 2 and 3 alongside our partners. Formosa 1 has been in operation since December 2019 and Formosa 2 and 3 are expected to be operational before 2030.
