Offshore Wind Farming Gains Momentum in Taiwan
Since Taiwan is about to speed up its use of renewable energy, wind power is an obvious choice. One of the projects driving this forward is Formosa 4: The wind farm located 18 to 20 km off the coast of Miaoli County and covering 58 km2, marks a significant milestone in Taiwan’s renewable energy transition. With an installed capacity of 495 MW, the project will make an important contribution to strengthening the country’s clean energy supply. As part of the contract for Synera Renewables Taiwan (SRE), PALFINGER will supply 35 units of PF 200 fully electric offshore cranes, each with a 7-m outreach. They will be installed on jacket foundations equipped with 14 MW Siemens Energy turbines. Deliveries will take place between the Q2 and Q3 of 2026, with installation and commissioning scheduled in Taiwan within the same year. Once delivered, this will bring the installed base in Taiwan to 271 offshore wind cranes. “With our service setup in Taichung, we are prepared to further increase our resources to ensure our team is ready to serve the demands of tomorrow,” said Alexander Lee, direct sales director APAC at PALFINGER. “This focus is fully aligned with the new Strategy 2030+, which positions service as a key must-win action field to strengthen customer proximity and deliver sustainable value throughout the entire operational lifetime.” As the offshore wind sector continues to gain momentum, the renewed selection of PALFINGER service platform cranes demonstrates the strong trust the industry places in their performance. As offshore wind becomes an increasingly important pillar of the global energy transition, PALFINGER is strengthening its role as a highly reliable partner, delivering innovative and efficient systems that ensure safe and long-term operation at sea. PALFINGER was at the Wind Expo in Japan, last March, where it presented its range of services for the offshore wind sector.
