Listen "Offshore Wind Power - Learning From Taiwan"
Episode Synopsis
As Ireland’s offshore wind industry marked a new milestone in May with the awarding of the first round of offshore wind projects we visit the Pacific island nation of Taiwan which has been deploying offshore wind generation since 2017.
With a land mass half the size of Ireland and a population of over 23 million, the lack of space on land together with abundant wind resources means most major developments are offshore. Many EU states like Denmark are actively partnering with Taiwan for investment opportunities and technical expertise.
During my recent trip to Taipei, I spoke to Angelica Oung - Energy Reporter specializing in Offshore Wind, the Grid and Nuclear Power, about the history of wind power in Taiwan, how the government there has engaged with the industry and the lessons so far.
