Green Giraffe Advisory supported the Formosa 4 (fixed-bottom offshore wind) and Formosa 5 (floating offshore wind) projects in the Taiwan Round 3 Phase 1 tender submission
In 2022, Green Giraffe supported Synera Renewable Energy (SRE), formerly Swancor Renewable Energy in the tender submission to Taiwan’s first auction round for the Phase 3 Zonal Development of Offshore Wind. In particular, Green Giraffe prepared the financial model, ran a debt market sounding and supported SRE in the bid preparation and offtake strategy.
Formosa 4 was awarded 495 MW of development capacity by Taiwan’s Ministry of Economic Affairs, alongside six other projects with COD expected to be in 2026/2027. This is the first zero-bid auction in Taiwan, projects will therefore rely on corporate PPAs. Formosa 5, a floating offshore wind project adjacent to Formosa 4, stands out as the only floating offshore wind farm that has passed the preliminary EIA review and the first floating wind site to attend grid auction in Taiwan and the entire APAC region.

Green Giraffe assisted G7 Renewable Energies with full tender, contracting and financing (debt & equity) support
Green Giraffe assisted G7 Renewable Energies with full tender, contracting and financing (debt & equity) support in preparation for the Risk Mitigation Independent Power Producer Procurement Programme (RMIPPPP) in South Africa.
The Oya project is one of the largest hybrid energy projects in Africa and is unique in the world in terms of technology mix, size, and price. It aims to build a hybrid energy facility combining onshore wind, solar PV, and lithium-ion battery storage to provide reliable, low cost, on-demand renewable energy to South Africa. This 128MW plant will offer dispatchable power to Eskom (integrated state-owned utility) and thus add much needed flexibility to the grid.
In March 2021 the project, Oya Energy Hybrid Facility, was selected as Preferred Bidder by the South African government under the RMIPPPP.
