SBJ foundations and wind turbine components are arriving at the marshalling yard in the Port of Taichung at a steady pace, making ready for the installation to commence in late March, according to the developer. The wind turbines will be installed by Cadeler’s newly delivered Wind Maker jack-up.
The full-scale offshore construction phase is said to involve over 40 international and domestic vessels, including crew transfer vessels, installation and support vessels, service operation vessels, and guard vessels, as well as 1,600-1,800 personnel at peak times.
The Greater Changhua 2b and 4 offshore wind farms are located next to the 900 MW Greater Changhua 1 and 2a, which are in full operation .
“Progress is advancing well with the onshore works, and we anticipate the offshore installation to be completed by the end of 2025. The wind farms are scheduled to be fully connected to the grid in 2026, fulfilling Ørsted’s commitments under the grid contract with Taiwanese authorities and the CPPA with our corporate customer,” said Jayaram Naidu , Managing Director of Greater Changhua Offshore Wind Farms at Ørsted.
