Taiwan: Ørsted has inaugurated the 900 MW Greater Changhua 1 and 2a offshore wind farms. The wind farms are in operation and fully connected to the grid, which means that with their connection, Taiwan’s offshore wind capacity has doubled. Construction started in 2021, and first power was produced in April 2022.
The projects are located 35-50 kilometres off the coast of Changhua County, Taiwan. “With today’s inauguration, we’re celebrating a landmark achievement for Ørsted and for Taiwan. Greater Changhua 1 and 2a are our first gigawatt-scale offshore wind farms outside of Europe. They’re also Taiwan’s first utility-scale far-shore wind farms and the largest of their kind in APAC, reaffirming Taiwan as the frontrunner in the region,” said Mads Nipper, Group President and CEO of Ørsted.
