Swancor Renewable Energy CEO Lucas Lin said: “SRE has begun preparation work for the Formosa 4 project, as part of an effort to support the government’s ambitious goal to foster offshore wind and renewable energy.
“SRE is dedicated to ramp up local supply chain through Formosa IV Project, and we aim to become the leading company of renewable energy in the region.
“We will leverage the experiences we have with Formosa 1 and Formosa 2 and we will continue our efforts in cultivating a friendly relationship with Miaoli County government, local community and industries.”
