Northland Power has secured environmental impact assessment (EIA) approval for its combined 1,800-megawatt CanWind and NorthWind projects off the coast of Taiwan, according to multiple news sources.
The two projects, located off the coasts of Taichung City and Changhua County, have a total capacity of up to 1.8 gigawatts and are among several proposals that have been undergoing EIA panel review ahead of Taiwan’s third phase of offshore wind zonal development.
By passing the EIA panel review, Northland said it was one step closer to building out its pipeline of projects in Taiwan.
“As global leaders in offshore wind, we are well-positioned and committed to long-term investments in the Taiwanese offshore wind market, and to working in partnership with local governments and stakeholders to strengthen Taiwan’s energy transition efforts,” Northland Power said via social media on Aug. 17.
