The County Government would construct at least 800 large-scale wind turbines offshore for wind power development to create Changhua offshore as the "Oriental Saudi Arabia" to bring a cleaner electric power for people.

Changhua County has been actively promoting the vision of "green energy culture, a wisdom county ", and gained highly supports from domestic and foreign enterprise groups. Equis Group, the largest independent green energy development company in Asia, and its subsidiary SOLEQ, and Tai Ming Company, dedicated to the promotion of the glass arts, are in the leading position to take practical action to support the Changhua County Government to promote green energy and cultural integration with the wisdom of urban construction. They are cooperating to build the "solar energy smart parking shed" combined with glass art and cultural landscape alongside "Glass Matsu Temple" and "Cosmic Tower" in Changhua Coastal Industrial District to become the first excellent example representing the development of green energy integrated with culture and wisdom construction.

Although Changhua County has the best wind and solar resources, especially in the Changhua Coastal Industrial District with excellent sunshine conditions. It has been neglect in the past, not until Wei took office, he has been vigorously promoting the development and application of green energy, and encouraging the manufacturers of Changhua Coastal Industrial District to well use the roof of factories for green energy development.
