Opportunity

Taiwan aims to increase electricity generated from renewable power from 4.8 per cent in 20161 to 20 per cent in 2025, reducing reliance on coal and becoming nuclear-free.


Approach

Macquarie acquired a 50 per cent stake in Formosa 1 to develop Taiwan’s first offshore wind farm and kick-start the island’s supply of offshore wind-generated power. This will be followed by a further portfolio of 1.9GW of offshore wind in Taiwan.

Outcome

Formosa 1 is a first-of-its-kind project in Taiwan.
