Taiwan OK’s financial restructuring for Yunlin offshore wind farm

The 640 MW project is expected to be completed in 2024.

The Ministry of Economic Affairs of Taiwan has approved the financial restructuring of the 640-megawatt Yunling Offshore Wind Farm Project.

Project operator Yuneng Wind Power Co., Ltd. has announced the financial restructuring in August 2023.

The project is funded by Skyborn Renewables and its investment partners Total Energies and EGCO Group, and Japan’s Sojitz Corporation. Its financing group has not changed since the initial funds were received which includes over 20 domestic and foreign specialised banks and export credit agencies, the operator said.

Tianfeng New Energy CEO Thomas Karst said 34 of the 80 wind turbines have been installed so far.

The electricity to be generated from the project will be supplied to the Taiwan Electric Power Company under two 20-year power purchase agreements.

The wind farm can generate power that can meet the needs of over 600,000 households.

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.
