In addition to the turbine supply and service agreement, the Spanish firm has agreed to provide spare parts and tools to ensure the power plant’s reliability and optimal performance.

Located in Miaoli County in western Taiwan, Formosa 2 is the first to be built out of the Taiwanese Government’s zonal development programme. Taiwan’s zonal development initiative was launched to promote a 5.5GW offshore wind build-out by 2025.

Construction works at the site are expected to begin by next year. Formosa 2 will be located close to the site of the Formosa 1 power plant, which will also feature 22 SGRE offshore wind turbines.
