Synera Renewable Energy (SRE) announced that its Formosa 6 Offshore Wind Project (Formosa 6) has been awarded 800MW of development capacity by the Ministry of Economic Affairs in the second round of auctions for Phase 3 Zonal Development of Offshore Wind.
With heartfelt gratitude to the competent authorities, review committee members, supply chain partners, and local communities for their recognition, the development team of Formosa 6, SRE’s first offshore wind project in central Taiwan, reiterated their commitment to thriving together with the locals and accelerating Taiwan's transition to net-zero emissions and sustainability.
Lucas Lin, the chairperson of SRE, stated, “This is truly encouraging. We deeply respect the competent authorities and review committee members for their fairness, impartiality, and professionalism throughout the process. We also extend our appreciation to all our supply chain partners.”
He added, “SRE has been dedicated to offshore wind power in Taiwan since 2012, navigating through all the phases of industry development, namely demonstration, potential zones, and zonal development. Our unwavering commitment to Taiwan and strong belief in its market potential have been driving us forward. We are determined to give our best efforts to every project, including Formosa 4, which won capacity in the previous auction, and the newly launched Formosa 6.”
Formosa 6, the SRE-led offshore wind project with a maximum potential capacity of 1GW, will be situated approximately 35 kilometers off the coast of Xianxi Township, Changhua County, spanning an area of around 84 square kilometers. Based on the allocated capacity of 800MW, the project can install up to 57 wind turbines, each with a capacity of 14MW, and is expected to power about 860,000 households once operational and connected to the grid.
