Vena Energy Taiwan Offshore Wind Development general manager Will Feng said: “Vena Energy has operated and invested across the Taiwan renewable energy sector for several years, successfully building over 400MW of solar capacity.

“The selected offshore wind sites have been carefully assessed to exclude environmentally sensitive and restricted areas.

“We will utilise our local experience and continue to engage with all our stakeholders to develop our offshore wind pipeline and contribute to Taiwan’s net-zero emission target.”

In June this year, Vena Energy awarded a contract to Siemens Gamesa to supply wind turbines for a 133MW wind project in Karnataka, India.
