The wind farm will employ 23 wind energy converters, to be supplied, installed and maintained by Enercon.

Total investment required for the InfraVest and WPD developed project stands at €81.5m.

Located 120km south-west of Taipei, the wind farm is expected to commence operations in 2015.

Taiwan had recently passed the Renewable Energy Development Act (REDA) to promote the expansion of renewable energy use in the country and all of KfW IPEX aided farms are regulated under the act.

The Tongyuan Wind Farm is the third venture to be financed by KfW IPEX, having already co-financed the wind farm projects in Guanyin and Houlong.
