Yunlin Offshore Wind Farm has installed its 80 underwater foundations, making the 640 MW project the first in Taiwan to meet the standards of a domestically produced independent commitment project.
Yuneng Wind Power is responsible for the project’s construction and operation, slated to be complete by the end of this year.
The construction team has additionally installed 68 wind turbines, 52 of which have been connected in parallel to Taipower’s power grid for operation and power generation. It also installed 56 array submarine cables and 12 output submarine cables.
“The underwater infrastructure installation has been fully completed, demonstrating the significant progress of the Yunlin offshore wind farm towards completion,” says Patrick Lammers, Tianfeng New Energy’s global CEO.
“We sincerely appreciate the support of the Taiwanese government, step by step to create project milestones, overcome all difficulties to complete financial restructuring and localization achievements, and strive to achieve net-zero green energy and coexist with nature. This is what we say about Taiwan’s energy transformation: Keep your promise.”
Yunlin Wind Farm worked with Formosa Heavy Industries and Junding Machinery for localization projects that included 40 single piles and 40 transfer sections of the underwater foundation.
The wind farm is located in the Taiwan Strait, approximately 17 kilometers away from Taiwan’s west coast. Two onshore substations, in Taixi Township and Sihu Township in Yunlin County, feed into the grid and are provided to Taiwan Electric Power Company under two 20-year PPAs.
Investment partners of Yuneng Wind Power include Skyborn Renewables, Tianfeng New Energy and TotalEnergies.
