APAC Wind

The 19th Asia Offshore Wind Day was scheduled for 13 October in Taipei, bringing together developers, contractors and suppliers to discuss Taiwan's offshore wind market.

GWEC's Global Offshore Wind Summit Japan was scheduled for 13–15 October in Nagasaki, focusing on project delivery, partnerships and the challenges facing Japan's offshore wind sector.

Pacifico Energy Vietnam and PTSC have started seabed surveys for two proposed offshore wind projects: Nam Bo (500 MW) and Nam Trung Bo 3 (1,300 MW).

Tokyo Gas and Principle Power have received Approval in Principle from ClassNK for a WindFloat TC floating foundation design that can support a 15 MW-class turbine in Japanese conditions.

Two major industry events in the same week put Taiwan's pipeline and Japan's delivery challenges in focus. Both markets are worth watching for future work.

Seabed surveys in Vietnam and a floating foundation approval in Japan are both early steps. They point to where future demand could come from — if projects advance.

OEG's Taiwan vacancies show what operators there are asking for: offshore experience, full GWO training and Vestas platform knowledge.

Recruiters are building candidate pools for Taiwan and APAC ahead of future projects. A talent pool is a signal of expected work, not a confirmed job.
