Taiwan amends offshore wind auction rules

Taiwan has revised its Round 3.3 framework to allow terminated offshore wind projects

to rebid and expand, freeing up c.1.2 GW of capacity. Developers can obtain additional

capacity up to 50% of their original allocation, subject to a 1 GW single-developer limit.

The country set a 9 GW offshore wind target to be reached by 2030 despite weak

corporate PPA demand. Source: Recharge
