640 MW Offshore Wind farm becomes Operational in Taiwan

Skyborn Renewables (Skyborn) and its partners in Yunneng Wind Power Co., Ltd. (Yunneng) have announced the operational phase of 640 MW Yunlin Offshore Wind Farm (OWF) located in the Taiwan Strait, between 8 and 17 km off the west coast of Taiwan.

Yunneng, a joint venture between Skyborn, TotalEnergies, Electricity Generating Public Company (EGCO Group), and Sojitz Corporation (Sojitz), is responsible for the construction and operation of the Yunlin OWF. Skyborn led the development and construction of the project with support from its partners. Once commercial operations commence, expected in June 2025, TotalEnergies will take charge of technical operations management, while Skyborn will continue overseeing all other management services.

The OWF produces enough renewable energy to supply over 600,000 Taiwanese households annually. With a total capacity of 2,400 GWh, it will meet 90% of Yunlin County's non-industrial electricity demand and cut CO₂ emissions by approximately 1.2 million tons per year. Covering an area of 82 km², the project consists of 80 wind turbine generators (WTGs), with the generated electricity transmitted to the Taiwanese power grid through two onshore substations near Taixi and Sihu townships in Yunlin County. The electricity is supplied to Taiwan Power Company (TPC) under two long-term power purchase agreements, each spanning 20 years.
