MHI Vestas Offshore Wind A/S, the world’s second-biggest offshore wind turbine maker, is planning to use Taiwan as a hub to assemble and export turbines as it aims to extend its footprint in Asia.
Taiwan has emerged as a hot spot for offshore wind as President Tsai Ing-Wen works to phase out nuclear energy while adding 25 gigawatts of renewable energy by 2025. The island is seeking to increase offshore wind capacity to 5.5 gigawatts over the same time frame, from just 8 megawatts.
