The Formosa 2 Offshore Wind Farm project is being jointly developed by JERA (49%), Green Investment Group (26%), and Synera Renewable Energy (25%). Formosa 2 has an installed capacity of 376 MW. All 47 turbine installations were completed in January 2023, and all turbines have been connected to the grid since March 2023, supplying power to approximately 380,000 households per year.
Formosa 2 is committed to localization and has been working closely with local consultancies, including, but not limited to Unitech, CECI, and Sinotech, on tasks such as obtaining permits and on-shore electrical system concept design. Formosa 2 has also cooperated with NCKU, NTOU, NTU, and other universities to conduct site surveys and analyses for planning.
To cultivate local talents in the offshore wind industry, Formosa 2 has joined hands with National United University to develop the “Formosa 2 offshore wind expertise program” since 2018. Formosa 2 also set up marine mammal observer training programs for local fishermen.
