Synera has already made a potent partner with Taiwan’s TSEE. Recently, in partnership with others, they have made headlines with their long-term Corporate Power Purchase Agreement (CPPA) for the Formosa 4 wind farm. This complex endeavor is located 18 to 20 kilometers offshore of Miaoli County. Second, it provides offshore wind energy which is crucial for the region’s rapidly growing appetite for more renewable energy.
A perfect example is Formosa 4, with a capacity of 1,104 megawatts (MW). It’s ready to be a game-changer on Taiwan’s energy sector. The wind farm is expected to produce enough clean, renewable energy to power about half a million homes each year. This step marks another stride in Taiwan’s dedication to identifying and expanding renewable energy resources.
Project Development and Auction Success
In 2022, SRE won the Formosa 4 offshore wind farm in 2022’s first auction round. This accomplishment signifies a huge breakthrough in the long overdue third-phase zonal development. This accomplishment highlights the strategic significance of the project in Taiwan’s ongoing efforts to advance sustainable energy solutions.
Of note, Formosa 4 earned its final establishment permit in late 2024. This accomplishment puts it as the first of all round-one winners to hit this important milestone. Ecological permit issuance This issuance of the ecological permit is a significant step forward in the project’s development schedule. It further highlights the depth of regulatory backing for offshore wind projects in Taiwan.
Technological Partnership with Siemens Gamesa
Siemens Gamesa has been chosen to supply 35 of its new generation of 14MW turbines for the Formosa 4 project. This joint effort will increase the farm’s efficiency and energy production. It’s the perfect place to produce renewable energy in line with global climate goals.
By harnessing Siemens Gamesa’s advanced technology, Formosa 4 is designed to achieve optimal capacity and reliability. This joint venture represents an important emerging trend within the renewable space. Technological advancements and the right policies are propelling us faster towards our sustainability goals.
Commitment to Clean Energy and Corporate Sustainability
Lucas Lin, chairperson of SRE For SRE, this partnership has been critical in advancing the city’s signature renewable energy initiatives.
“Offshore wind is widely recognised as a critical source of large-scale, reliable clean energy. We are pleased to partner with TSEE. This mutually beneficial agreement provides long-term revenue certainty and strengthens Formosa 4’s financial foundation, while making stable, reliable renewable power accessible to a broader range of corporate offtakers. This is essential for these businesses to maintain operational resilience, enhance competitiveness, and progress toward their sustainability goals.” – Lucas Lin, SRE chairperson.
The implications of this project for human-centered, distributed energy production cannot be understated. Subtly yet importantly, the Guide promotes the idea of corporate responsibility and sustainability efforts being an expectation among Taiwan’s business community.
