JF Renewables wants to provide development-stage guidance on the wind farm being constructed by Foxwell Power Co. This role will also affirm its commitment to fostering Taiwan’s energy transition ambitions. The company will act as an impartial and independent mediator between Foxwell and the wind turbine generator manufacturer.

Matthew Paterson, Operations Director APAC, JF Renewables commented: “We are delighted to be TÜV SÜD’s trusted partner in the development and delivery of this project to Foxwell. We have a proven track record in ensuring quality and HSE standards, and strong knowledge of the local supply chain and content regulations. When combined with TÜV SÜD’s unparalleled offshore wind project certification expertise, this makes us a locally preferred choice for our customers to support execution of offshore wind farms – from contract signing to operational delivery.”

Gary Wang, Wind Business Development Manager, TÜV SÜD, said: “It was crucial for us to select the right company as our trusted long-term partner, to both facilitate the contractor-developer relationship and to ensure smooth project delivery. With a high level of expertise, JF Renewables will be able to safely optimise construction and development here in Taiwan and fulfil our goals of reducing cost to customer and accelerating the energy transition. We are confident that we are working with experienced, specialist engineers and consultants to contribute value to the growth of Taiwan’s wind farm industry, whilst ourselves offering high-quality offshore wind project certification proficiency.”

JF Renewables will be providing key project management oversight, as well as administering, coordinating, and testing the project. In addition, it will undertake vital Health, Safety and Environment (HSE) management, inspection activities and oversee claims and payment certificates. This ensures that the project operates safely and efficiently, reducing cost to customer, contractor, and owner.
