SRE & Century Group Seal Taiwan’s Largest Offshore Wind Deal – 800 MW Formosa 6

Synera Renewable Energy Group (SRE Group), a developer of offshore wind projects in the Asia-Pacific region, announced its continued partnership with Taiwan based Century Group for the 800 MW Formosa 6 Offshore Wind Project. 

The Formosa 6 project is Taiwan’s largest offshore wind farm by capacity, representing the biggest collaboration of its kind within the local offshore wind sector to date.

Significant Supply Contracts for Wind Turbine Foundations

Under the agreements, Century Wind Power will provide 57 jackets while Century Huaxin Wind Energy, newly appointed as a Tier-1 supplier, will supply 180 pin piles for the project. 

These foundational components are vital to the infrastructure of Formosa 6, supporting its planned grid connection in 2029, the official statement states. 

Lucas Lin, Chairperson at SRE, emphasised the importance of renewables in the global energy mix, “Renewables have become an indispensable part of the global energy mix. As a developer with strong roots in Taiwan, SRE remains steadfast in our commitment to advancing offshore wind power and deepening collaboration with local suppliers to meet the pressing green energy demands of Taiwan’s strategic industries and contribute to a sustainable future.”

Century Group’s Chairman, Wen-Hsiang Lai, said, “This marks a major milestone for Century Group in Taiwan’s Phase 3.2 offshore wind development. SRE’s strong support for local content enables us to sustain our fabrication pipeline through 2028.”

Overview of Formosa 6 Project

Formosa 6 is SRE’s inaugural offshore wind project in central Taiwan. It secured 800 MW of development capacity in Phase 3.2, the second auction round of Taiwan’s Phase 3 Zonal Development, in mid-2024. The project submitted its administrative contract on schedule in late 2024, becoming the first among second-round winners to achieve this milestone.

Located approximately 35 kilometres off the coast of Changhua County in the Xianxi Township, the 84-square-kilometre wind farm is expected to produce enough clean energy to power around 860,000 households annually once operational. 

The project aims for a 2029 grid connection, bringing substantial renewable energy capacity to Taiwan’s power mix and supporting the island’s energy transition goals.
