  • Financial Times selected Orrick for our work advising the ECAs and lenders on a novel US $3.1 billion financing for the Fengmiao 1 offshore wind farm in Taiwan.
  • This landmark project is one of the first offshore wind farms in the world and the first in Asia to be a truly zero subsidy project, being non-recourse financed based solely on corporate power purchase agreements with no fallback mechanism. It is also the first Round 3.1 offshore wind project in Taiwan to reach financial close.
  • Led by Adam Smith, our London, Singapore and Paris-based team includes Albert Yu, Jon Thursby, Oliver Sikora and Deska Widianto, with assistance also from Gilbert Harrold, Olivier Bernard and Sarah Stockley.
