Vena Energy to expand offshore wind in Taiwan

The company will launch two new projects in the country.

Vena Energy has launched two new offshore wind projects in Taiwan with a total capacity of 1.8 gigawatts (GW).

The projects, Wei-Na and Wei-Long, are in participation in Taiwan’s auctions for the third phase of its Offshore Wind Zonal Development.

“The development and generation of offshore wind projects are instrumental to accelerating the energy transition,” Daniel Astbury, Head of Wind at Vena Energy, said.

“We will leverage our experience in other Asian markets and utilize our Corporate PPA capabilities with international off-takers to develop a robust pipeline in APAC.”

The 1,200-megawatt (MW) Wei-Na Offshore Wind Project will be located 20 kilometres off the coast of Miaoli County. It will span over an area of about 126 square kilometres at a water depth of about 52-88 metres.

The 600MW Wei-Long offshore wind project will be located 43km outside Changhua County, spanning approximately 76 sq. km. at a depth of about 40-62 metres.

The projects are expected to use large wind turbines with a single capacity of 14MW to 20MW.

“Vena Energy has operated and invested across the Taiwan renewable energy sector for several years, successfully building over 400MW of solar capacity,” Will Feng, General Manager of Offshore Wind Development in Taiwan, said.

“The selected offshore wind sites have been carefully assessed to exclude environmentally sensitive and restricted areas.”

Global clean energy tech market to hit $2t by 2035

This is fuelled by investments as countries aim to enhance energy security.The global clean energy technology market is projected to grow from $700b in 2023 to over $2t by 2035, nearing the scale of the crude oil market, according to the International Energy Agency (IEA).This growth is fuelled by significant investments in clean technology manufacturing as countries aim to enhance energy security, maintain economic competitiveness, and cut emissions. Investment is concentrated in regions with established positions in clean energy, particularly China, the European Union, the UK, and increasingly, India.Whilst the US, EU, and India have taken measures to support their clean energy sectors, China is expected to remain the world's manufacturing hub. By 2035, China's clean technology exports are forecasted to exceed $340b—comparable to projected oil export revenues from Saudi Arabia and the UAE.Southeast Asia, Latin America, and Africa contribute less than 5% of global cleantech production value, yet the IEA suggests that these areas still hold opportunities within the clean energy economy. Developing economies, for instance, could leverage competitive advantages to advance in the value chain beyond resource extraction.The IEA said Southeast Asia could become one of the most cost-effective regions for producing polysilicon and wafers for solar panels over the next decade.
