Taiwan green energy prices likely to rise, as new offshore wind projects become official

Although Taiwan’s corporate power purchase agreement (CPPA) for offshore wind energy has offered a steady channel for green energy for industrial use, much attention has turned to rising prices due to inflation and increasing production costs.
