Skyborn Taiwan

MARKETS

Skyborn Renewables Taiwan (Skyborn Taiwan) was established in Taiwan as Asia-Pacific hub for offshore wind power. With more than 20 years of experience, the team is helping to convert the rich natural resources of Taiwan into clean energy in order to realise the goal of energy transformation.

Local Market Page

Skyborn Taiwan is committed to promote the development of all aspects of Taiwan’s offshore wind power industry. In 2018, the company was allocated the 640 MW Yunlin offshore wind farm as part of the Phase II auction, whereby the project was the first offshore wind farm in Taiwan to incorporate local components. We successfully introduced overseas experience and technology to Taiwan and worked with local businesses to tap into the international supply chain.

In the future, Skyborn Taiwan will continue to leverage more than 20 years of experience in the development of offshore wind power to draw up a pioneering blueprint for green electricity.

Projects

The Yunlin Offshore Wind Farm (Yunlin OWF) is Skyborn Taiwan’s first operational project in the APAC region and a landmark project for Taiwan’s energy transition, which has been officially inaugurated in March 2025. Skyborn Taiwan has been responsible for the development and construction of the Yunlin OWF and will continue to support the operation Electricity from the project is provided to Taiwan Power Company (TPC) under two 20-year power purchase agreements. The 640 MW Yunlin OWF is one of the largest offshore wind farms in Taiwan, producing enough clean energy to serve the energy needs of more than 600,000 Taiwanese households. We hope to continue strengthening our partnership with government agencies and local supply chain partners as well as to engage with the local communities so that we can work together to supply reliable, sustainable and affordable green energy for Taiwan.

Sustainable actions in Skyborn Taiwan

Goals

Skyborn Taiwan is supporting the Net Zero by 2050 target of the Taiwanese government by continuing to promote green responsibility and environmental sustainability through four main directions:

Actively reduce the environmental impact during the development, construction and operation of green energy projects by adopting international standards
Reach out to local communities in order to build an energy transformation vision based on mutual prosperity and happiness
Promote scientific energy education and participate in philanthropy to fulfil our responsibility as citizens of planet Earth
Industry-university cooperation to cultivate green energy expertise

Biodiversity Action Plan

Sustainability

Bird ecology: Black-faced Spoonbill Satellite Tracking Programme for bird conservation The black-faced spoonbill is designated as a critically endangered species in Taiwan. This 4-year “Black-faced Spoonbill Satellite Tracking Program” has created the world's largest database on the migration routes and flight behaviours of Black-faced Spoonbills, providing invaluable insights into their avoidance patterns regarding onshore and offshore wind farms. The Program is owned by Yunneng Wind Power Co., Ltd. (Yunneng), the operator of the Yunlin OWF, with support from Skyborn and its partners in Yunneng. GPS data is used to track black-faced spoonbill flight paths and establishing clusters to help local rangers adopt targeted conservation measures. Tracking was carried out in cooperation with the Taiwan Wild Bird Federation, enabling rescue operations to be completed successfully.

Maritime Ecology

SUSTAINABILITY

Fish, dolphins, whales and other marine malls are at home in the sea. Hereby the sea provides environmental resources required by more than three billion people worldwide. We use a variety of methods to reduce our ecological impact during the construction, operation and maintenance of offshore wind farms. For example: the Chinese white dolphin is a protected species endemic to Taiwan, and the Yunlin offshore wind farm project team avoided the key habitats of the Chinese white dolphin designated by the government during the initial planning stage. During the construction of the Yunlin offshore wind farm, at least four (4) underwater noise mitigation technologies were applied such as (1) the Menk noise reduction units (MNRU) for impact hammers, (2) hydro sound damper (HSD) nets, (3) single bubble curtains (SBC) and (4) double big bubble curtains (DBBC) were employed. The underwater noise mitigation measures applied were amongst the best in Taiwan. Furthermore, all involved project personnel underwent an induction to ensure that they have full awareness on cetacean protection.

Social Participation

Skyborn Taiwan’s core corporate capabilities are connected to social welfare initiatives and local environmental awareness to forge an innovative and sustainable green vision.

Upgrade of Marine Communication

Chunghwa Telecom, the leading telco in Taiwan, partnered with Nokia in 2023 to install mobile phone base stations on selected foundation of the Yunlin offshore wind farm. The mobile phone stations provide a dedicated mobile network in the 900 MHz and 1,800 MHz spectrum. This was the first time that a mobile phone network had been installed on an offshore wind farm in Asia. The mobile phone network improved efficiency during construction and maintenance activities by enabling real-time communications between the maritime crew working up to 17 km from shore and support teams around the world. Fishermen working nearby are also able to take advantage of the mobile phone network in the future and improve their safety while working at sea.

Promote Scientific Energy Education

Skyborn Taiwan is committed to put environmental sustainability into practice, promoting renewable energy and offshore wind power education. A variety of science games and innovative green energy trivia are combined with art and multimedia applications to build a fun, interactive green energy learning environment. Energy education can then be introduced in an everyday manner in towns, schools and communities.

Industry-Academia Cooperation

Skyborn Taiwan has launched the “One Sky Initiative”, a collaborative platform that unites academia and industry to cultivate offshore wind talents and promote sustainable community development in Taiwan. Through the “One Sky Initiative”, Skyborn Taiwan has established a sustainable platform with the National Formosa University in Yunlin County to enhance the understanding of young students of offshore wind energy. Additionally, Skyborn Taiwan has formed a joint strategic partnership with the Science and Technology Research Institute of Decarbonization at the National Taiwan University to engage in marine geological survey. In the future, Skyborn Taiwan will also engage in collaborative research with universities on monitoring offshore wind farms, science-based validation of the ecological impact of offshore wind farms, and the design of learning materials for renewable energy projects.
