CIP failed to approve three wind power blocks in a row. The Energy Department regretted that it was criticized by the manufacturer that won the most bids.

In response to CIP's statement that the government's wind power policy has failed, the Energy Administration of the Ministry of Economic Affairs pointed out today (14th) that the government has been promoting my country's offshore wind power policy for more than ten years, but CIP, as the manufacturer with the most bids, criticized the failure of the policy. The Energy Administration expressed confusion and regret.

Xu Naiwen, managing director of the Copenhagen Infrastructure Fund (CIP), said today that the block development has failed three times in a row. "What should we do?" He believed that the site and standards should be reorganized first.

Taiwan Smart Energy Week kicks off today. As the 3-3 bidding did not go well, the government intends to launch the 3-4 bidding as soon as possible and is expected to start next year. Xu Naiwen criticized, "I have seen that 3-1 was a huge failure, 3-2 was also a huge failure, and 3-3 was a failure, so I kept on failing even if I kept rushing. This has already failed three times, so what should I do?"

The Energy Administration stated that all phases of offshore wind power selection are conducted through open consultation with all sectors of the industry. A consensus will be reached before subsequent fair selection operations can be carried out. The opinions of specific industry players must not negate Taiwan’s achievements in promoting offshore wind power.

The Energy Administration emphasized that Taiwan has so far completed 5GW of installed capacity and achieved fruitful results, and Taiwan will rank fifth in the world in offshore wind power in 2025. The Ministry of Economic Affairs will continue to improve Taiwan's offshore wind power development environment and accelerate the development of Taiwan's offshore wind power.
