proposed project site should comply with
certain requirements. For example, (1) the
scope of the proposed project site should
not overlap with the sites of any other
projects to which the MOEA has issued the
letter of consent for installation of offshore
windfarm system (風力發電離岸系統設置同

between the boundaries of the proposed
project site and other sites approved under
the Phase II Program should not be 1,200
meters or less; and (3) the proposed installed capacity of a single application should
not be 100MW or less.
In order to effectively review the application
and streamline the administrative procedures, the MOEA has established a joint
review mechanism where the MOEA may
invite relevant competent authorities to
form a review committee across ministries,
including authorities in charge of aviation,
radar, military control, prohibited/restricted
construction zones, vessel safety, breeding
and conservation zones for aquatic flora and
fauna, fisheries rights and mineral rights.
