Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy (SGRE) has awarded the first two local supply agreements for offshore wind projects in Taiwan. Swancor will supply resin used in the blades slated for the Formosa 1 Phase 2 offshore wind power plant.
SGRE also signed a supply contract for local towers from CS Wind and its partner Chin Fong. In the initial step, the partnership will manufacture and supply towers for upcoming Taiwanese projects under local content requirements. The two companies will utilise Chin Fong’s existing facilities at Taichung Harbor to deliver localised towers beginning 2021 to wpd’s Yunlin offshore wind power plant. The 120MW Formosa 1 Phase 2 project will consist of 20 SWT-6.0-154 Direct Drive wind turbines.
