Located off the coast of Miaoli County, Formosa 4 is also the first project in this round to receive a letter of consent from the local government, an essential step towards the final establishment permit.

Formosa 4 represents SRE’s third offshore wind endeavour in Taiwan.

Once operational, the wind farm is expected to power more than 500,000 households.

SRE chair Lucas Lin said: “We are deeply grateful to the central authorities, local government, and relevant agencies for their recognition and support of Formosa 4, which has enabled our team to steadily progress through each review process and achieve this significant milestone.
