Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy (SGRE) has announced that it has awarded the first two local supply agreements for offshore wind projects in Taiwan.
Swancor has been selected to supply resin for the blades of the Formosa 1 Phase 2 offshore wind turbines. This comes as the result of months of cooperation between SGRE and Swancor, along with a trusted long-term partnership between the two parties. The 120 MW Formosa 1 Phase 2 project will consist of 20 SWT-6.0-154 Direct Drive wind turbines, due to be installed in 2019.
SGRE has also awarded a contract to the newly-formed partnership between CS Wind and Chin Fong to supply 100%-localized towers for wpd’s Yunlin offshore wind project, meeting the project's localization requirement. The two companies will utilize Chin Fong’s existing facilities at Taichung Harbor to deliver towers from 2021.
SGRE was awarded preferred supplier status for the Yunlin project in May 2018. The project is expected to feature 80 SG 8.0-167 DD wind turbines to be installed in two phases.
