Taiwan; Changhua: The construction of the offshore substation for Ørsted’s Greater Changhua 2b and 4 offshore wind farms in Taiwan has started.
The offshore substation for Taiwan’s Ørsted’s Greater Changhua 2b and 4 offshore wind farms has begun construction. Seatrium said that this project is the latest under construction by Seatrium New Energy (a member of Seatrium Group) for its client Ørsted.
In 2018, Ørsted secured 920 MW of grid capacity for the offshore wind farms. Two years later, the developer signed a corporate power purchase agreement (CPPA) with Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company Limited (TSMC) for the offtake of the full production from Changhua 2b and 4.
Greater Changhua 2b and 4 will have around 65 wind turbines with an individual output of 14 MW installed approx. 35-60 km off the Changhua coast.
South Korea’s HSG Sungdong Shipbuilding and Petrovietnam Technical Services Corporation (PTSC) will manufacture and supply foundations for the 920 MW offshore wind farms.
The onshore substation will be built by Taiwan Cogeneration Corporation (TCC) under a contract signed with Ørsted.
