Hai Long Offshore Wind Executes Memorandum of Understanding
with MHI Vestas for turbine procurement
in Taiwan
海龍離岸風電計畫攜手臺灣菱重維特斯
簽署風機供應備忘錄
Taipei, Nov. 27, 2018 -- Hai Long Offshore Wind (“Hai Long”), a joint-venture between Northland Power Inc. (”Northland”) and Yushan Energy Co. Ltd (“Yushan”), has executed a Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”) with MHI Vestas Offshore Wind (“MHI Vestas”) for the procurement of 300 MW of offshore wind turbines to be installed in Taiwan by 2024, with a right of first refusal to MHI Vestas for the procurement of 744 MW of offshore wind turbines to be installed in Taiwan by 2025. The MOU sets the foundation for pursuing a preferred supplier agreement between Hai Long and MHI Vestas, and establishes that Hai Long will negotiate with MHI Vestas on an exclusive basis for the term of the MOU.
【臺北訊】由Northland Power Inc.與玉山能源股份有限公司（Yushan Energy Co. Ltd）合資成立的「海龍離岸風力發電計畫」今（11/27）宣布與臺灣菱重維特斯(MHI Vestas Offshore Wind，簡稱MHI Vestas )完成風機供應備忘錄（MOU）簽署。預計2024年完工之300MW風場建設計畫將向MHI Vestas 採購離岸風力發電機組；除此之外，針對2025年完工之744MW的風場建設計畫，海龍也將給予MHI Vestas優先議約權。此項MOU象徵海龍計畫與 MHI Vestas之間的緊密合作，替兩者之間的首選供應商協議奠定基礎，未來雙方也將在此一基礎上，持續進行獨家條款協商。
The MOU is subject to certain conditions, such as Hai Long 2A (300 MW) signing a PPA in either 2018 or 2019, and the 2019 FiT price remaining stable relative to the 2018 FiT price.
In April 2018, Hai Long 2A was awarded 300 MW of capacity through the allocation process organized by the Taiwan Bureau of Energy (“BOE”), providing Hai Long 2A with the opportunity to sign a power purchase agreement (“PPA”) at a Feed in Tariff (“FIT”) price set by the BOE.
然而，該MOU是否有效將受下列因素影響：海龍2A風場（300MW）須於2018年或2019年簽訂購售電合約(PPA)，若於2019年簽訂，躉購費率(FiT)亦須與2018年價格相當。
海龍計畫係於今年4月參與能源局遴選，其中二號風場獲配300MW的發電容量（2A），此部份適用能源局每年公告之躉購費率(FiT)。
In June 2018, Hai Long 2B was awarded the opportunity to sign a PPA for 232 MW, and Hai Long 3 was awarded the opportunity to sign a PPA for 512 MW through the BOE’s competitive auction process. Hai Long 2B and Hai Long 3 submitted their auction bids on the basis of the 2018 FiT price and a stable 2019 FiT price.
Under the terms of the MOU, 300 MW of offshore wind turbines for Hai Long 2A will be delivered by MHI Vestas from Taiwan according to the local content requirements introduced by the Taiwan Industrial Development Bureau (“IDB”), and the parties will explore the potential to procure offshore wind turbines for the remaining 744 MW from Taiwan as well, as far as is reasonably possible. Hai Long’s ability to procure equipment from Taiwan for the 744 MW will be dependent on the ability of Taiwan’s supply chain to provide competitive pricing.
海龍計畫於6月參與能源局競價，海龍二號風場剩餘的232MW（2B）、三號風場的512MW亦獲得開發權。海龍2B及海龍3號風場參與競價的價格係依據2018年FiT價格為基礎而訂，並預期2019年FiT價格將維持穩定。
根據MOU內容，海龍2A風場的300MW離岸風機將向MHI Vestas採購，並符合經濟部工業局所提出之在地化要求。同時，雙方也會針對海龍計畫剩餘的744MW之風機需求進行由臺灣供貨的採購評估，但前提是臺灣供應鏈必須具備價格競爭力。
“This MOU with MHI Vestas represents an important next step in the development of the Hai Long projects, and for Taiwan’s offshore wind market.” said Mike Crawley, Chief Executive Officer, Northland Power. “MHI Vestas is demonstrating their commitment to investing in Taiwan’s local supply chain, and we look forward to helping them strengthen these investments. Northland and MHI Vestas have a proven track record from our collaboration in Europe. We are pleased to expand this relationship into Taiwan, and to support the achievement of Taiwan’s renewable energy objectives through world class expertise and technology. With this cooperation we will be able to create thousands of local jobs throughout the Changhua and Taichung areas, as well as other places in Taiwan.”
「與MHI Vesta的這份風機供應備忘錄是海龍計畫及臺灣離岸風電發展重要的一步」 Northland Power總裁兼執行長Mike Crawley表示：「這展現了MHI Vestsa投資臺灣本土供應鏈的決心。我們也期待與他們在臺攜手合作。在歐洲建設風場時，雙方的合作經驗十分愉快，很高興此次能持續合作，導入世界一流的專業知識和技術，協助臺灣實現發展綠色能源的目標。這次合作預計將在彰化、臺中等地創造數千個在地就業機會。」
Tsung-Hua Chen, Chief Executive Officer, Yushan Energy Co. Ltd., explained “MHI Vestas are taking a long-term view of Taiwan’s supply chain. They have shown a commitment to help Taiwan become Asia’s leader for offshore wind, both domestically and through exports across the region, including into Vietnam, where Yushan has an exclusivity agreement with MHI Vestas. We are excited to work with MHI Vestas in Taiwan, and we are happy to continue to work with them in Asia.”
“This MOU demonstrates our commitment towards a successful offshore wind build out in Taiwan and provides greater visibility for our supply chain partners.” said Philippe Kavafyan, CEO MHI Vestas Offshore Wind, “We look forward to a continued collaboration with our trusted partners Northland Power and Yushan Energy to deliver sustainable, green energy to more regions globally.”
玉山能源董事長兼執行長陳聰華表示：「MHI Vestas 對於臺灣的供應鏈有很深的期待，無論是國內離岸風電技術發展，或將技術出口至其他地區，他們都希望幫助臺灣成為亞洲離岸風電領頭羊。目前玉山能源與MHI Vestas在越南也已簽訂獨家合作協議。很高興在臺灣與MHI Vestas合作，也希望能在亞洲其他地區持續攜手發展。」
「本次風機供應備忘錄簽署，展現我們在臺灣成功打造離岸風場的承諾，並替我們的供應鏈合作夥伴提供更高的能見度。」MHI Vestas Offshore Wind執行長Philippe Kavafyan表示，「期待與Northland Power和玉山能源，兩個我們值得信賴的夥伴持續合作，為全球更多地區提供永續發展之綠色能源。」
