Australian energy company Neptune has announced a partnership with Taiwan's Global Aqua to develop offshore wind projects in the country. The companies will collaborate in a number of areas, including construction, site investigation, decommissioning, and operation and maintenance. Having opened its first offshore wind plant last year, the Taiwanese government is pushing ahead with plans to expand the market. In an interview with Reuters, Yang Jianwei, vice president for global business development at Neptune, said that his company's focus was on developing new technologies rather than building existing facilities.

Having opened its first offshore wind plant last year, the Taiwanese government is pushing ahead with plans to expand the market. A second plant is scheduled to begin operations by late 2019, while earlier this year a further 5.5 GW of capacity, to be developed by 2025, was announced in two rounds of tendering.
