The conditional agreement, signed on 3 July 2019 at a press event in Taipei, is the second for MHI Vestas in Taiwan following the contract for local tower production signed in October 2018 with CS Wind/Chin Fong.
The scope of the Swancor contract goes substantially beyond local requirements for blade materials and covers more than 50% of the direct materials value of blade manufacturing (including carbon tow, carbon pultrusion, resin, and bonding glue), representing a significant step forward for MHI Vestas’ localisation efforts and Swancor’s entry into the offshore wind sector.
The agreement also holds the prospect of global supply for all MHI Vestas projects, signifying an export opportunity for Swancor and the chance for MHI Vestas to add to its global suppliers.
