wpd and Siemens Gamesa signed a Letter of Intent (LoI) for exclusive negotiations for the delivery of wind turbines for wpd’s Yunlin offshore wind power project in Taiwan.
The project, to be located approximately six kilometers from shore in the Taiwan Strait, will reach a total capacity of 640MW. The LoI, which is still subject to final contract, will remain valid until July 2019. It was signed based on the use of 80 units of SGRE’s latest offshore wind turbine, the SG 8.0-167 DD, including a 15-year long-term service agreement. Construction will start in 2019, with turbine installation beginning in 2020.
