Ørsted has commenced offshore construction for the Greater Changhua 2b and 4 offshore wind farms in Taiwan. The landmark project – the first offshore wind farms in Taiwan backed by a CPPA – will deliver 920 MWe, significantly contributing to Taiwan’s energy transition goal.
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 mobilising vessels to prepare the offshore construction.
The Greater Changhua 2b and 4 offshore wind farms are expected to complete offshore installation by the end of 2025 and be fully connected to the grid in 2026. When they are completed, Ørsted will reach a combined operational offshore wind capacity in Taiwan of nearly 2 GW.
Ørsted currently has 9.9 GW of operational offshore wind capacity installed across three continents, with an additional 8.4 GW of offshore wind under construction.
