Global Offshore Wind Summit – Taiwan 2021

On top of the environmental and health benefits that come with moving to clean wind energy, Taiwan serves to benefit greatly from a booming offshore market to stimulate the local economy, creating green jobs, investment in local infrastructure, and becoming an export hub for the growing offshore industry.

Why Taiwan?

After a period of great political uncertainty and proposed changes to the Feed in Tariff which concerned many of the offshore wind industry’s top developers, the Taiwanese government has now announced a revision to proposed changes to the Feed in Tariff (FiT) for offshore wind, making investment in the market attractive again. Although there are still concerns, this means that the offshore industry is back in business in Taiwan! There is huge interest in building up a crucial offshore market in Taiwan by leading industry developers and the government alike.

On the 26 October, the Global Offshore Wind Summit – Taiwan will gather all these stakeholders under the same roof to discuss how to best ensure that this market reaches its full potential. Organised by the Global Wind Energy Council (GWEC) and the European Chamber of Commerce Taiwan (ECCT), this is the official event for the offshore wind industry as they look to develop a key market in Taiwan. The Taiwanese government has certainly recognised the benefits of building an offshore wind market. High-level government stakeholders such as the Ministers and and Mayors across Taiwan will all participate in this premier event. Some of the industry leaders will be discussing the invaluable lessons they learnt in other markets and how Taiwan could take advantage of the wind revolution to boost their local economy and build a clean energy system. The desire is clearly there to build a booming offshore wind market in Taiwan, and the Global Offshore Wind Summit – Taiwan is the perfect opportunity that can make this happen.

Join us on the 26 October on a livestream to be part of the official industry event for offshore wind and be a leader in the Taiwan market.
