Taiwan's DWTEK Showcases Its Underwater Technology at Ocean Business
development in Taiwan as well as its recent projects."Taiwan is surrounded by oceans, which makes the island rich in marine knowledge, resources, and livelihood. The marine technology development started in 1976 in Taiwan; back then, it was mainly focused on the pelagic fishery. The Taiwanese government set a goal to increase 20% of renewable energy power by 2025, and with the Taiwan Strait providing a wind speed of 11.94 – 12.02m per second, it became the first location for renewable wind power energy construction."Foreign investors have already put more than 220 billion NTD [currently
Van Oord Wins Cable Install Work
. Van Oord’s own trencher Dig-It will bury the cables to the required depth. The installation work starts in 2021.The 900 MW Greater Changhua 1 & 2a offshore wind farms will be the first cable project in Taiwan for Van Oord.Once operational in 2022, the wind farms will contribute to the Taiwanese government’s target of 5.7 GW offshore wind by 2025
Van Oord Wins Taiwanese Offshore Wind Contract
the eighty foundations for the wind farm, to be constructed eight kilometres (5 miles) off the coast of Yunlin prefecture.Installation will begin in 2020, Van Oord said, with a capacity of 350 MW connected to the Taiwan power grid that year and the remaining part in 2021.The project is part of the Taiwanese government's plans to install offshore wind farms with a total capacity of 5,500 MW by 2025, in a push to phase out nuclear energy.The Yunlin project is the first wind contract for Van Oord outside Europe. The company has worked on dredging and other offshore projects in Taiwan, where it created
Taiwan Offshore Wind Farm Research Project
Hassan signs MOU with Taiwanese Industrial Technology Research Institute to develop Taiwan's offshore energy strategy. The offshore wind resource around the Taiwanese coast is considered excellent, with more than 6,000MW potential capacity at water depths of less than 50m. Earlier this year the Taiwanese government announced an extensive plan to speed up the deployment of offshore wind farm and promote green energy economics. Beginning with a demonstration project in 2015, offshore installation is planned to ramp up over the coming years and reach 1000 turbines and 3000MW by 2030. The Memorandum of
