RWE is taking part in Taiwan’s largest annual energy trade fair and conference. This underlines RWE’s ambitions to expand its renewables business to Taiwan and the wider Asia-Pacific region. During the “Energy Taiwan 2020” event, taking place this week in Taipei, RWE will be one of the leading exhibitors. In addition speakers and panelists from RWE will share their expertise in the development, construction and operation of large offshore wind farms and give insights on new technologies, such as floating offshore wind.

With over 120 years history of electricity generation, RWE is today one of the world’s leading companies for renewable energies and globally ranked as the second largest operator in offshore wind. Earlier this year, RWE Renewables (operating at that time as innogy Renewables) announced its entry into the Taiwanese offshore wind market through a strategic partnership with Asia Cement Corporation. The partners jointly continue the development of the Chu Feng offshore wind project with a planned installed capacity of up to 448 megawatts. The large scale offshore wind farm will be located off the northwest coast of Taiwan near Hsinchu City, in the wind-rich Taiwan Strait.
