Contract awarded for the removal of monopiles at 640 MW offshore wind project off Taiwan

Jumbo Offshore has recently been awarded a contract by Yunneng Wind Power Co., Ltd. (YWPC) for the removal of monopiles at the 640 MW Yunlin Offshore Wind Farm located approximately 8 km west of the coast of Yunlin County in Taiwan. 

The contract award represents an expansion of the company’s existing scope, which has involved transport and installation of the project’s transition pieces. Under the contract, some monopiles, which were installed during an earlier project phase, are to be removed approximately 3 m below the mean seabed level. To undertake this scope, Jumbo Offshore will mobilize the DP2 Heavy Lift Crane Vessel Fairplayer.

The wind Farm is developed by Yunneng Wind Power Co., Ltd., a joint project company involving Skyborn Renewables, TotalEnergies, Electricity Generating Public Company (EGCO) and Sojitz Corporation. 

The project, developed in two phases (352 MW and 288 MW, respectively), is composed of 80 Siemens wind turbines with an 8 MW capacity each. It features a 170 km of 66 kV submarine cable and 71 monopile foundations. It generates 2.4 TWh of power a year. The facility will generate enough clean energy to serve the energy needs of more than 600,000 Taiwanese households.
