Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy and the Taiwan International Ports Corporation have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to begin a collaborative investigation into the development of areas of the Taichung harbor in Taiwan for the offshore wind business.
The non-binding MoU covers investigations of a potential manufacturing site for offshore wind components, office facilities, and staging areas including storage, pre-assembly, and quayside load-out. A timeline has not been set for finalisation of the cooperation agreement. Furthermore, SGRE opened a new office location in Taipei, aimed at increasing offshore wind customer responsiveness in APAC excluding mainland China. The office will act as the offshore wind regional hub, and together with other regional offices in Japan and Korea, it will deliver the latest offshore wind and service portfolios.
