Taipei, Jan. 18 (CNA) Two ruling lawmakers and a group of environmentalists called on the central government on Monday to establish restricted areas for offshore wind projects for environmental protection reasons.
The suggestion was made against the backdrop that a foreign company is reportedly planning a possible offshore wind farm project in waters off northeastern Taiwan.
The EnerVest Co. Ltd., a subsidiary of the German InfraVest Group, is said to be attempting to set up a wind farm around the islets of Pengjia, Huaping and Mianhua.
