Elapath Energy and RenewableErgon are set to develop a 150 MW solar project in Budai, Chiayi County, Taiwan, with an estimated investment of $250 million.
The project is slated to begin its first phase in December 2024, pending approval from Taiwan’s Energy Administration under the Ministry of Economic Affairs (MOEA), and is expected to be completed by February 2025.
