EU Challenges Taiwan's Discriminatory Rules on Local Content regarding Offshore Wind Projects MOEA: Exploring Prospects for Opening Up
The EU (26th) has requested dispute settlement consultations at the WTO concerning Taiwan's use of local content criteria for offshore wind energy projects. The EU is committed to leading the global green transition and, as such, welcomes Taiwan's efforts to support green energy. However, such efforts must respect the global level playing field and comply with international trade rules. In the view of the EU, Taiwan's local content eligibility and award criteria in energy capacity allocation auctions for offshore wind farms are inconsistent with its WTO commitment to not discriminate against imported goods and services.

MOEA Minister J.W. Kuo Calls for Relaxation of Offshore Wind Localization Requirements Emphasizes Geothermal and Hydrogen Energy Development, and AI Engineer Training
In a recent local media interview, Minister J.W Guo of MOEA discussed Taiwan's energy development plans. Amid the country's entry into the Phase 3-2 (the zonal development) of offshore wind farm development, the inflationary impact triggered by the Russia-Ukraine conflict has intensified construction costs, prompting developers to urge the government to review localization policies. Originally, Phase 3-1 required a 60% localization ratio, but Phase 3-2 has allowed developers greater flexibility by adopting a fully elective approach, albeit still seen as insufficiently flexible by developers.

OMNI Features｜First Decline in EU Wood Pellet Sales in 2023．Korean Cable Manufacturer Taihan Launches Korea's First Offshore Wind CLV "Palos"．German Company Neuruppin Completes Its First 500-Meter Geothermal Drilling Project
According to a report by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, the EU's consumption of wood pellets decreased by 1.2% last year, reaching 24.5 million metric tons. This marks the first decline since 2015. The primary reasons for this decrease are the mild winter and reduced demand from the commercial power sector. The current low prices, combined with government incentives, are expected to support the widespread use of biomass for residential heating in 2024. It is anticipated that demand from the industrial power sector will remain stagnant this year.
