Local know-how
What to know before you go
Renewable energy in Taiwan
Offshore wind is the headline in Taiwan's renewable energy sector. Large wind farms have been built in the Taiwan Strait off Changhua County, on the west coast, and more are being developed, many by international developers. Solar is growing too. Taiwan relies heavily on imported fuel, which is why energy security comes up in most conversations about renewables.
Because the turbines are offshore, much of the work in Taipei is desk-based. Think research on markets and regulations, data and emissions reporting, and short briefings for managers. Sustainability teams in factories and offices also work on cutting energy use, and companies that sell abroad may be asked by customers to report on it. You might help with any of this, but your exact tasks depend on your host company. If you can use Excel well, mention it in your application.
