First Turbine Installation Completed for 728 MW Offshore Wind Farm in Taiwan

Jointly developed by Mitsui & Co., Northland Power Inc, and Gentari International Renewables, the Hai Long Offshore Wind Project ("Hai Long Project") announced the successful offshore installation of the first wind turbine for the Hai Long 3 wind farms. 

The nacelle of the turbine installed was assembled locally at Siemens Gamesa’s nacelle assembly facility in Taichung. The offshore installation was carried out by CDWE, Taiwan’s leading large-scale offshore wind marine engineering contractor. This seamless integration of local assembly and offshore installation represents substantial progress in deep-rooting offshore wind technology within Taiwan.

Reviewing the construction progress: the Hai Long 2A wind farm, featuring 21 turbines, was completed and grid-connected at the end of last year. Hai Long 2B also installed all 16 turbines last year. With today’s installation of the first turbine at Hai Long 3, the project has officially entered its crucial construction phase. 

Beyond driving national renewable energy targets, the Hai Long Project is actively fulfilling its localization commitments. Regarding nacelles, building upon the mandatory requirements for Hai Long 2A, the project expanded its partnership with Siemens Gamesa to include Hai Long 2B and 3 wind farms in its local procurement. A total of 73 locally assembled nacelles completed assembly this month and are currently being transported offshore for installation.
