Bundled
Project
2012
is constructed and operated by InfraVest Wind

Group. The project in total comprises 34 wind turbines, each having a capacity up to 2.3 MW. The total

installed capacity of the proposed project is 78.2 MW. At full capacity, the output of the project is totally

expected to be 187,680 MWh per year derived from the FSRs of each sub-project. The annual

emission reductions are estimated as about 126,120 tCO2e/year.

The project start date is 13/12/20121. InfraVest

Bundled
Project
2012 is a

bundle project:

1. Chubei Wind Farm Project: a 11.5 MW onshore wind farm in Chubei township, Hsinchu County,

which comprises 5 wind turbines. The annual electricity generated is 27,600 MWh with emission

reductions of 18,547 t CO2e/year.

2. Zhaowei Wind Farm Project: a 13.8 MW onshore wind farm in Tongxiao Township, Miaoli

County,which comprises 6 wind turbines. The annual electricity generated is 33,120 MWh with

emission reductions of 22,257 t CO2e/year.

3. Tongyuan Wind Farm Project: a 52.9 MW onshore wind farm located in Tongxiao & Yuanli

Township, Miaoli County, comprised 23 wind turbines.

Among the 23 wind turbines of Tongyuan Wind Farm, 11 wind turbines change the locations. And the

11 wind turbines in the new locations belong to 3 wind farm project as followed. Thus, the annual

electricity generated of Tongyuan Wind Farm is 66,240 MWh with emission reductions of 44,513 t

CO2e/year.

1. Taichung III Wind Farm Project: 5 wind turbines with total capacity of 11.5 MW in Da-an Township

and Da-jia Township, Taichung city. The annual electricity generated is 27,600 MWh with emission

reductions of 18,547 t CO2e/year.

2. Taichung Chingfeng Wind Farm Project: 1 wind turbine of 2.3 MW in Chingshui Township, Taichung

city. The annual electricity generated is 5,520 MWh with emission reductions of 3,709 t CO2e/year.

3. Taichung Anwei Wind Farm Project: 5 wind turbines with total capacity of 11.5 MW in Da’an

Township, Dajia Township, and Chingshui Township, Taichung city. The annual electricity generated

is 27,600 MWh with emission reductions of 18,547 t CO2e/year.

Contribution to sustainable development

The project contributes significantly to the region‘s sustainable development. The specific goals for the

project are to:

1. reduce the greenhouse gas emissions in Taiwan by replacing fossil fuel based power

generation;

2. produce clean, renewable energy that contributes to alleviate the global warming;

3. contribute to the development of the wind energy sector in Taiwan;

4. create local employment both during the construction and operational phase;

Airquality Since the fuel combustion in baseline power generation produces airpollutants besides GHG, such as NOx and SOx, the project considerably

facilitates air quality improvement by producing clean electricity to thenationalgrid.Accordingtothelateststatisticdata(2015data),310kgofSOxand 302 kg of NOx were generated per GWh power generation.
