Nocera, Linshan Trading to develop green energy industrial park in Taiwan

The facilities will be built on 60 ha of land.

Aquaculture industry services provider Nocera Taiwan and Linshan Trading have joined forces to develop 60 ha of land into the Green Energy Industrial Park in Taixi Township, along with the Yunlin County Government and solar plant developer J&V Energy Technology.

As Asia’s largest indoor recirculating aquaculture industrial park, the project will integrate new solutions as well as electricity technologies, a statement read.

“It is great that we had this opportunity to meet with President Tsai Ing-wen and the local farmers wanting to take part [in] the development [of] green energy. The dual use of the land by placing solar panels for power generation above the free-standing fish tanks will allow for greatly increased economic benefits from developing the land. This lowers the land utilization by allowing fish production for consumption and the excess power generated can be sold to the electric grid operator," Nocera president Jeff Cheng said.

"We are pleased to take the lead on this project to set an example of the government promoting green energy combining solar power and land-based RAS fish farm,” he added.

According to Nocera, combining the solar polar and fish farm developments in one property will up its economic utilisation as well as generate clean power.
