Commercial operation starts for the largest Offshore wind farm in Taiwan
Ørsted has announced the successful delivery of the first power from the Greater Changhua 2a Offshore Wind Farm, located 35-60 kilometers off Taiwan’s west coast.
The Greater Changhua 1 & 2a will consist of a total of 111 Siemens Gamesa 8.0-167 DD wind turbines which are expected to produce enough power to cover the power consumption of 1 million Taiwanese households. The total combined capacity of the two projects is 900 MW, making it the largest and first far-shore wind farm in Taiwan.
The first power was delivered as scheduled by installing and energizing the first batch of offshore wind turbines. The electricity was transferred to Ørsted’s onshore substations via array cables, offshore substations, and export cables. The renewable energy was fed into the national grid via Taipower’s substation.
