In December 2023, HEXA Renewables proudly launched the Changhua Floating Solar Project in Taiwan, with a robust capacity of 192 MW. Set off the coast of Changhua, this innovative project leverages floating solar technology to generate renewable energy without using valuable land, preserving it for other important ecological and agricultural uses. 

This project generates approximately 260 GWh per annum, reduces 138,000 tons of CO2 every year and is equivalent to energy consumption of 65,000 average households annually. 

With this, HEXA Renewables and Ciel & Terre Taiwan have completed the expansion of a floating solar project within the Changbin Industrial Park in Taiwan’s Changhua County, boosting its capacity to 440 MW.

Taiwanese subsidiary of France’s Ciel & Terre said that this is one of the country’s largest and most technically challenging near-shore floating solar projects because of the fact that tidal changes in the seawater environment happen twice a day, with occasional typhoons. 

Employing a unique anchor pile-type anchorage system, the project stands out by minimizing the environmental impact and enhancing stability against daily tidal movements, which increases the longevity and efficiency of the solar panels. This technology represents a significant advancement in HEXA Renewables’ approach to sustainable energy production. 

The completion of the Changhua project marks a pivotal step in our commitment to a greener future. As part of our ongoing efforts to expand renewable energy capabilities, this project not only contributes to reducing global carbon emissions but also sets a scalable model for future green energy initiatives.
