The partners will act as an impartial and independent mediator between Foxwell and the wind turbine generator original engineering manufacturer.
JF Renewables’ contract will support TPC Offshore Phase 2 from early construction to development in its first year, with the view to expanding the scope into additional services down the line including operations and maintenance.

Gary Wang, Wind Business Development Manager, TÜV SÜD, said: “It was crucial for us to select the right company as our trusted long-term partner, to both facilitate the contractor-developer relationship and to ensure smooth project delivery.
“With a high level of expertise, JF Renewables will be able to safely optimise construction and development here in Taiwan and fulfil our goals of reducing cost to customer and accelerating the energy transition.”
Matthew Paterson, Operations Director APAC, JF Renewables, said: “We have a proven track record in ensuring quality and HSE standards, and strong knowledge of the local supply chain and content regulations.
“When combined with TÜV SÜD’s unparalleled offshore wind project certification expertise, this makes us a locally preferred choice for our customers to support execution of offshore wind farms – from contract signing to operational delivery.”
