InfraVest Taiwan Wind Farms Bundled Project 2011 – Taiwan

The proposed project is a bundle of four wind energy projects, “InfraVest Fongwei Wind farm project, Taiwan”, ”InfraVest Longwei Wind farm project, Taiwan”, “InfraVest Chungwei Wind farm project, Taiwan”, “InfraVest Tauwei Wind farm project, Taiwan”. It shall not be debundled into separate projects in the future. Summary The project involves the development of four wind farms in Taiwan: • InfraVest Fongwei Wind farm project, Taiwan: a 13.8 MW (6x2.3 MW) onshore wind farm located in Hsinfong Township (therefore also called Hsinfong Wind farm), Hsinchu County, which comprises 6 wind turbines (hereafter : Fongwei wind farm) • InfraVest Longwei Wind farm project, Taiwan a 44.1 MW (18x2.3 MW + 3x0.9 MW) onshore wind farm in Houlong Township (therefore also called Houlong Wind farm), Miaoli County, which comprises 21 wind turbines (hereafter : Longwei wind farm) • InfraVest Chungwei Wind farm project, Taiwan a 29.9 MW (13x2.3 MW) onshore wind farm in Dajia and Da-An Townships, Taichung County, which covers Taichung phases I and III, and Dafong sites, comprises 13 wind turbines. (hereafter : Chungwei wind farm) • InfraVest Tauwei Wind farm project, Taiwan a 4.6 MW (2x2.3 MW) onshore wind farm in Guanyin Township (also called Hsinwu Wind farm), in Taoyuan County, which comprises 2 wind turbines (hereafter : Tauwei wind farm) The above mentioned wind farms are constructed and operated by InfraVest Wind Power Group (hereafter InfraVest) which is a subsidiary of Germany based VWind AG. The project in total comprises 42 Enercon wind turbines. The total installed capacity of the proposed bundled project is 92.4 MW. At full capacity, the aggregated output of the project is expected to be of 250,866 MWh/year, which is to be delivered to the state-owned power grid, Taipower. Accordingly, the project will lead to carbon dioxide emission reduction since it will avoid the use of fossil fuel in the electricity generating system. The annual emission reductions are estimated as 190,908 tCO2e/year.

By providing a viable clean energy alternative to fossil fuel energy, this project addresses climate change by reducing the level of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. This contributes to the development of the wind energy sector in Taiwan, with a long term benefit for the clean energy transition in Asia. Beyond environmental benefits, this project creates local employment and capacity building as the employees are trained by German wind turbine manufacturer Enercon on maintenance, safety and operational issues.
