Japan’s GF Corporation has become a strategic partner in IX Renewables’ Rui-Li Phase 1 Floating Offshore Wind Project in Taiwan.
Rui-Li 1 is expected to participate in the upcoming floating offshore wind tender, expected to be officially launched by the Taiwanese government.
The tender aims to select projects which will serve as a demonstrations for floating offshore wind in the Taiwan Strait (the Floating Demonstration), thereby paving the way for the next wave of commercial scale offshore wind tenders, which are expected to all be floating.
Teaming up with GF Corp enhances the project’s ability to contribute to Taiwan’s green energy ambitions, IX Renewables said.
Ongoing discussions with local and international stakeholders reflect the confidence in the Rui-Li 1 project and the expected Floating Demonstration in Taiwan, it added.
