Taipei, Nov. 9 (CNA) An alliance to develop offshore wind power was formed on Wednesday to tap into the commercial opportunities created by Taiwan’s policy to develop green energy.
The alliance, signed at CSBC Corp. Taiwan (台船) in Kaohsiung, also includes Taiwan Power Co., China Steel, Chunghwa Telecom, the Steel Industries Research and Development Centre, the Ship and Ocean Industries R&D Center, Industrial Technology Research Institute, the CR Classification Society and major companies.
CSBC will coordinate the alliance and rely on its specialties to jointly plan, install and maintain facilities and train people for offshore wind power construction work.
The state-owned shipbuilder said offshore wind power construction is still in an early stage, but the strong experience and technology of the alliance’s members are well positioned to take advantage of the green energy opportunities that exist. [FULL STORY]
