Taiwan's Ministry of Economic Affairs (MOEA) has introduced changes to the contracting framework for the upcoming Round 3.3 offshore wind auction, which aims to award up to 3.6 GW of capacity by 2030-2031. Key modifications include reduced local content requirements, a focus on performance-driven scoring, and the incorporation of ESG factors into evaluation criteria, with a formal announcement expected in Q1 2026. The MOEA will also evaluate developers' financial health and project execution capabilities, linking pricing to corporate power-purchase agreements.
