“Wind
energy has been on the rise in Germany since 2000. Since then, the electricity feed-in
rose from 10 TWh to about 126 TWh in 2019, making wind energy the most
important renewable energy. With a share of 24.5% of the overall gross
electricity generation, wind energy even superseded lignite,” stated Axel Limberg,
Chief Representative and Executive Director of the German Trade Office Taipei
during his opening speech.
Due
to their vast expertise in wind energy technologies, Mr. Limberg considers German
companies to be excellent partners for Taiwan’s energy transition efforts. Asked
whether the current coronavirus outbreak could seriously impact a closer cooperation
in the near future, Mr. Limberg remained positive: “We are delighted that three
German companies have decided to support our German Pavilion here at the Wind
Energy Asia despite this ongoing crisis. This clearly shows that German companies
remain committed to an active participation in the Taiwanese energy transition
and that they continue to believe in this market.”
