Ørsted has commenced the offshore construction for the 920 MW Greater Changhua 2b and 4 offshore wind farms located 35-60 km off the coast of Changhua County, Taiwan. The water depth in the area ranges from 23.8 to 44.1 meters. Covering an area of 185 km², the wind farms consist of 66 Siemens Gamesa 14-236 DD turbines, each with a capacity of 14 MW.
Ørsted was awarded the Greater Changhua 2b and 4 offshore wind farms in June 2018. In July 2020, Ørsted signed a 20-year fixed-price corporate power purchase agreement (CPPA) for a corporate customer to offtake the full production of the wind farms.
Since its final investment decision in March 2023, Ørsted has begun the manufacturing of the key components, completed civil work of the onshore substation, and started mobilizing vessels to prepare the offshore construction. The farms are expected to complete offshore installation by the end of 2025 and fully connect to the grid in 2026.
