Values for Taiwan
With the rapid development of offshore wind energy in the last decade, numerous bottom-fixed offshore wind parks have been built in the Taiwan Strait. Considering the limited space for bottom-fixed wind parks, floating wind is expected become a key next step in Taiwan's energy transition.
Rui Li 1 targets to participate in the Floating Wind Park Demonstration Project in 2025 and is targeting to become one of the first floating offshore wind projects in Taiwan. The goal is to demonstrate the feasibility of floating wind technology in Taiwan and stimulate floating wind as a new pioneering industry for the next generation.
1. Unlocks Taiwan’s Deepwater Wind Energy Potential
As the space for bottom-fixed wind parks becomes saturated, floating wind will become a key technology for the next stage of renewable energy development. This innovative technology not only capture stronger and more stable wind resources, but also effectively reduce potential conflicts with traditional fishing activities and the impact on coastal ecological environments.
2. Demonstrates floating wind technology
Floating offshore wind technology is an innovative concept that has been proven in various locations around the world. Rui Li 1 will demonstrate this technology under the specific environmental conditions of the Taiwan Strait. This will not only demonstrate the feasibility of floating wind in Taiwan, but also provide valuable data and practical experience for the global floating wind market.
3. Accelerates Taiwan’s path to net-zero
The implementation of floating wind technology will bring significant impact on Taiwan from various perspectives. It can effectively convert deep-sea wind into clean electricity and inject new vitality in Taiwan’s energy community. This technology will provide a more stable and reliable supply of green energy, reducing the dependence on traditional fossil energy. Its widespread application will significantly accelerate Taiwan's progress toward net-zero emissions.
4. Stimulates a new pioneering industry for Taiwan
The development of floating wind will create an innovative and pioneering industry in Taiwan. In addition to the contributions to Taiwan's energy transition, the accumulation of technology and practical experience in floating wind creates great potential for technical exports throughout the Asia-Pacific region and even the global market. This will not only give an economic boost to Taiwan, it will also strengthen Taiwan’s international.
