The project

Formosa 1 holds a particular place in the Taiwanese offshore wind industry as the country's first commercial-scale offshore wind farm. Sited 2 to 6 kilometres off Miaoli County, its 22 turbines produce 128 MW.

The project was delivered in phases, beginning with a two-turbine demonstration before the full build-out — an approach that allowed the local supply chain, regulators and marine operators to learn on a small scale first.

Why it mattered

Formosa 1 established much of the practical groundwork for offshore wind in Taiwan: port arrangements, vessel availability, permitting routes, marine coordination practice and the working relationships between international contractors and local operators.

Projects that followed, including Formosa 2 and Formosa 4, build on what was established here.

Our involvement

Nautic Energy has supported the Formosa programme, and our continued presence in Taiwan traces back to this early market experience.
