On July 19, MIRDC signed an MOU with Department of Wind Energy, Technical University of Denmark at the Riso Campus, for further collaboration concerning the wind energy industry. Witnessed by Dr. Ming-Jong Liou, Director General of the Bureau of Standards, Metrology & Inspection, M.O.E.A. (BSMI), and in the presence of representatives from industrial, official and research sectors of Taiwan and Denmark, the MOU was signed by Dr. Chia-Min Wei, Vice President of MIRDC, and Peter Hauge Madsen, Head of DTU Wind Energy. In the future, both parties shall collaborate in the field of offshore wind energy technology, devoting their efforts to project certification of offshore wind farm, with the purpose of accelerating the development of the Taiwan wind energy industry, as well as to ensure the safety of the installations in the offshore wind farms.

Taiwan has planned to reach a total installed capacity of 3GW for offshore wind turbine by 2025, therefore achieving the objective of a nuclear-free homeland, and reaching a goal of 20% of the total power generated by renewable energy. In March 2018, the Executive Yuan instructed BSMI to establish a third-party testing and certification center, in order to provide financial and insurance sectors with reliable assessments that can serve as a basis for risk management of the project finance and underwriting. The establishment of third-party testing and certification center aims to promote green finance, while offshore wind energy is one of the main development items for center. In addition, the center intends to establish the indigenous certification capability for offshore wind energy and connects to international systems that can ensure the safety and stability of installations in offshore wind farms as well as reduces the installation cost.

Situated at the north of Copenhagen, DTU is an important site for the research of wind turbines since 1979. Denmark owned 4 wind turbine test centers. DTU is the only university in the world to be capable of producing the large turbine blades. In addition, DTU is equipped with the necessary facilities and qualified personnel to conduct the static and dynamic tests for the turbine blades. In 2018, DTU inaugurated the Poul la Cour Tunnel, which can measure the turbine blades and noise to wind speed of up to 105 meters a second. The MOU signing with DTU expects to strengthen collaboration between Taiwan and Denmark, and thus benefits the development of offshore wind farms and its related industries, as well as promotes the safety of offshore wind farms in Taiwan.
