TRE Actively Engages in 3.2 Zonal Development Bidding, with a visual theme centered on ocean waste utilization at Energy Taiwan.

The annual "Energy Taiwan" event will be scheduled from October 18th to 20th at Taipei Nangang Exhibition Center, Hall 1. Additionally, visitors can explore TRE's booth at K06 15A within Taipei Nangang Exhibition Center, with a primary visual theme centered around ocean waste utilization, inviting individuals from all sectors to experience the core message, "When the wind blows, happiness follows!"

Taiya Renewable Energy (TRE), as the sole domestic offshore wind developer, has secured its first project in 2022, which is the "Wei Lan Hai Changhua Offshore Wind Project," formerly known as the Huanyang Offshore Wind Farm Project, with EDF Renewables and TRE holding 80.1% and 19.9% stakes, respectively. TRE has already confirmed its participation in the 3.2 zonal development bidding. TRE strongly advocates for government support to promote the integration of fragmented wind farms and support ongoing initiatives, such as the localization of offshore wind power production and competitive bidding.

TRE stated that the completion of the Phase 3.1 wind farms' signing represents a significant milestone for Taiwan's offshore wind development. However, for the wind farms participating in the 3.2 bidding, most developers overlap, TRE signifying that this might be the final large-scale bidding for Taiwan's fixed-bottom offshore wind farms. The upcoming project from TRE in the 3.2 bidding is Taiwan's first attempt to integrate fragmented wind farms with no overlap with other planned bidding sites, indicating that local developers are attempting to approach marine integration and development from different perspectives. The future trend will shift towards floating wind farms, and effectively utilizing marine areas to meet the industry's green energy and decarbonization demands will pose a new challenge for the Taiwanese government.

Moreover, the developers' bidding preparation deadline has been shortened as the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) process has recently been reinitiated. In this light, TRE is advocating for the Energy Administration of the Ministry of Economic Affairs to maintain the current financial and technical selection standards, avoiding significant alterations that could result in delays in the bidding process. Furthermore, there is a call for the government to carefully consider the capacity of domestic manufacturers, allowing developers to adjust flexibly according to the actual situation and avoid impacting the schedule for wind farm construction.

At TRE's booth at Energy Taiwan, a significant emphasis has been placed on the primary visual design of utilizing recyclable materials and incorporating discarded marine PET bottles. This lightens the local waste burden and ensures a potential future for complete recycling. TRE's core theme, "When the wind blows, happiness follows!" is brought to life through its "Tea Tasting Session," where visitors can savor the fragrant, locally sourced, premium tea from TongLuo Tea Factory, paired with coastal specialties from regions like Miaoli and Changhua, promising a delightful culinary experience.

TRE also presents Yuanli's 300-year-old traditional culture of bulrush weaving hats as a souvenir, allowing the participants to experience local craftsmanship and the concept of sustainability. Kun-Da Wu, the General Manager of TRE, pointed out, "It takes at least seven steps and a hundred days to complete only one bulrush hat, each piece meticulously crafted by local artisans." This also symbolizes TRE's profound dedication to cultivating Taiwan's renewable energy market."
