Infrastructure Investor: Stonepeak’s Synera sets sights on Taiwanese floating offshore wind
In September 2024, Stonepeak Senior Managing Director Ryan Chua spoke with Infrastructure Investor in depth about the Taiwanese offshore wind sector – including how we expect floating wind technology to play a bigger role over time as fixed-bottom sites in the Taiwan Strait approach full capacity, and the importance of engaging with local stakeholders in navigating localization requirements.
He also spoke about the increasingly prominent role that Stonepeak portfolio company Synera Renewable Energy is playing in advancing Taiwan’s ongoing energy transition. Most recently, in the latest round of Taiwan’s offshore wind auction in August 2024, Synera’s Formosa 6 Offshore Wind Project was awarded 800 MW of development capacity, marking another important step towards accelerating Taiwan’s transition to a more sustainable, net zero future.
