WPD begins deal with Taiwan solar hat-trick

• PV developments to better combine German company's placement in the country

WPD is to start building of 3 solar projects in Taiwan.

Until now, the Bremen-based project developer and driver of wind and also solar parks has actually executed 38 PV projects in the nation with an overall capability of 9.25 MW.

With the brand-new projects, WPD is more settling its placement in the crucial Taiwanese market for renewable energies.

A 1MW rooftop project is prepared in the city of Taoyuan, a significant commercial centre in northwestern Taiwan. Taoyuan is adjacent to New Taipei, Taiwan's biggest city.

The PV modules will certainly be set up on the roof covering of a hall complicated of Manloy Metal Industrial and the project will certainly produce 1251MWh of environment-friendly electrical power in the future.

This makes it the business's largest solar PV project in Taiwan to day

For the three brand-new projects, WPD was able to protect a 20-year PPA with the Taiwanese grid operator TPC.

In addition, companies have the possibility to purchase the eco-friendly electricity created in Taiwan as part of a corporate PPA.

With both various other projects, WPD will realign the emphasis of its PV method in Taiwan.

These are ground-mounted projects found in Chiayi County in the west of the island state.

The very high solar irradiation here implies that similarly excellent yield values can be anticipated.

The projects lie in close proximity to every various other and have a planned overall outcome of 0.4 MW, so that all three new Taiwanese WPD solar projects will certainly have a combined outcome of 1.5 MW.

WPD taking care of supervisor for solar PV Niclas Fritsch stated: "In Taiwan, we not just discover exceptional problems for wind on- and offshore, yet also for the generation of solar energy.

" We have actually established ourselves in the country as a crucial as well as proficient companion for renewable energy projects as well as can better broaden our own portfolio."

Taiwan's renewable resource market is a vital market for WPD in the Asia-Pacific region.

The business is also gradually broadening its activities in Japan, Indonesia, Vietnam, South Korea, Mongolia, the Philippines and also India.

By capitalizing on the outstanding conditions for onshore and offshore wind energy along with for solar power, WPD is aiding to execute the energy transition in this crucial financial area.
