TRENA TALKS

Lessons from Taiwan’s  Offshore Wind Delivery, Risk, and Infrastructure Governance Hosted by TRENA Chairman Raoul Kubitschek and Vice Chairwoman Y.D. Chang, this series moves beyond high-level policy pledges to confront the realities of execution, procurement, and commercial risk in the race toward net zero. As global renewable targets accelerate, infrastructure developers face a brutal statistical reality known as the Iron Law of Megaprojects: across more than 22,000 global projects, only 0.4% deliver on budget, on schedule, and on promised benefits simultaneously. To unpack how the industry can defy these staggering odds, this episode features Gareth Dooley, Senior Expert at Oxford Global Projects and who has long standing experience in working in Taiwan’s and global Offshore Wind projects.  Drawing on over two decades of global project management experience—spanning geophysics, commercial delivery, research in major program management, and hands-on offshore wind delivery—Gareth reveals why ambitious energy ventures slip off track. Together, we explore how data-driven decision-making, upfront investment in front-end loading, and collaborative contracting can save projects millions before offshore installation even begins. From navigating supply chain localization and port constraints to safeguarding schedule float, we examine what it truly takes to manage complexity. Tune in to discover how developers and policymakers can break the Iron Law—turning auction ambitions into steel in the water and green power on the grid.
