Values for Taiwan

As offshore wind energy rapidly develops, the shallow water areas in Taiwan suitable for bottom-fixed wind turbines are nearing saturation. Floating wind in deepwater areas is the next stage. Rui Li 1 is a floating offshore wind development project in Hsinchu County,aiming to contribute to this advancement.

Rui Li 1 targets to participate in the Floating Incentive Scheme in Taiwan in 2025 and become one of the first floating offshore wind projects in Taiwan. Our goal is to showcase in this demonstration project the feasibility of floating wind technology in Taiwan and stimulate floating wind as a new pioneering industry for the country.

2. Demonstrates floating wind technology

Floating wind technology, a concept proven through numerous tests globally. Nations such as Norway, Korea, the UK, Japan and France are heavily engaged in exploring this technology.

Taiwan is actively joining this international effort, planning to establish floating wind farms in its western maritime areas that are well-suited for offshore wind development. However, due to its location in an area of high seismic activity, Taiwan frequently experiences earthquakes, along with seasonal typhoons and diverse soil condition.

The Rui Li 1 project has conducted detailed evaluations of these factors. Earthquake assessments utilize state-of-the-art probabilistic seismic hazard analysis (PSHA), typhoon impact studies incorporate historical storm data, and soil analyses draw from extensive geological surveys. These studies ensure that floating wind technology can be safely and effectively implemented in Taiwan’s offshore regions.

4. Stimulates a new pioneering industry for Taiwan

The development of offshore wind energy not only helps Taiwan achieve its net-zero emissions goal but also stimulates the growth of emerging industries.

The growth of floating wind power in the APAC region gives Taiwan's industrial sector a great chance to shine. With its advanced manufacturing skills and lots of experience in offshore wind, Taiwan can provide important technologies and infrastructure to new markets in the region. From technology development to manufacturing and maintenance, offshore wind creates numerous job opportunities and drives the formation of related industrial supply chains. This work will likely lead to more innovation in Taiwan and help grow energy projects across the region, making Taiwan an important center for green technology in Asia.

With the development of floating technology, Taiwan will accelerate its integration into the global green energy movement, further boosting economic growth and industrial advancement.
