White & Case LLP advised Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners (CIP), through its fund Copenhagen Infrastructure V, on the TWD 103 billion (approximately US$3.1 billion) project financing and development of the 495 MW Fengmiao 1 offshore wind project, located 35 kilometers off the coast of Taichung, Taiwan.

This landmark transaction is the first multi-party corporate power purchase agreement (PPA)-backed offshore wind project in Taiwan, representing a significant step forward for the Asia-Pacific offshore wind industry.

Brendan Quinn, Partner and Co-Head of White & Case’s Global Energy Industry Group, added, “White & Case continues to play a central role in the Asia-Pacific offshore wind sector as it continues to gain strength.”
