Market Trends of Taiwan Wind Energy Industry

This section covers the major market trends shaping the Taiwan Wind Energy Market according to our research experts:

Offshore Wind Energy to Drive the Market

  • The installation of wind farms offshore is becoming lucrative because of the higher wind speed in comparison to onshore and no restrictions of the area in comparison to onshore. Due to this, large scale offshore wind energy deployment is under operation.
  • The wind power market companies have been able to install taller wind turbines due to improvements in the wind turbine materials used, which allows the turbines to exploit higher altitude winds. The growing size of the wind turbines has helped lower the cost of wind energy, indicating that it is economically competitive with fossil fuel alternatives.
  • Continued development of several offshore projects has created new market opportunities for the undersea cable industry also. For example, Formosa 1 is an offshore wind power plant being developed near Miaoli, Taiwan, by Formosa Wind Power Co in partnership with other companies, is Taiwan's first commercial-scale offshore wind project with a capacity of 130 MW.
  • With more than 3000 MW of offshore wind plants auctioned by 2020, the development of 5000 MW of wind energy in offshore by 2025 is going to change the global stand of Taiwan in renewable energy market.

Upcoming Projects And Government’s Policies

  • Taiwan government amended the Electricity Business Act in 2017 permitting renewable power generators to sell power directly to end-users and phasing out of Taiwan Nuclear power plants by 2026 to increase the share of renewables.
  • Taiwan government also amended The Renewable Energy Development Act on 12th April 2019, whose main incentive is the fixed tariff for a period of 20 years of power purchase from offshore wind.
  • With ongoing wind installed capacity, Taiwan generated 1.7 TWh of electricity in 2018, contributing one-third of the electricity generated by renewable sources.
  • With projects like Chan Fang and Xidao offshore wind farms, adding a capacity of more than 500 MW, a significant leap in the growth of wind energy can be witnessed in the forecast period.
  • The upcoming projects and visionary policies of the Taiwan government are expected to drive Taiwan towards one of the leading countries in wind energy, especially in the offshore wind energy market.
