\u00d8rsted has reached a milestone at the Greater Changhua offshore wind project in Taiwan by completing the installation of all the turbines at the 920MW Greater Changhua 2b and 4 projects.<\/p>\n
Located 35\u201360km from Changhua County, the project consists of 66 Siemens Gamesa SG 14-236 wind turbines, each with a capacity of 14MW.<\/p>\n
Offshore construction commenced in February 2025, with Siemens Gamesa beginning turbine installation in April last year using Cadeler\u2019s Wind Maker vessel.<\/p>\n
Greater Changhua 2b and 4 is said to be the first offshore wind project in the region to deliver renewable power to \u00d8rsted\u2019s corporate customer under a power purchase agreement signed in 2020.<\/p>\n
The project has supplied electricity to Taiwan\u2019s grid since first power was achieved in July 2025.<\/p>\n
Safety performance was prioritised throughout all phases of the project, covering vessel mobilisation, offshore operations and contractor selection.<\/p>\n
The team has recorded around 131,576 working hours offshore with zero lost-time injuries.<\/p>\n
The focus will now shift to commissioning, electrical system testing and completing cable works. Full commercial operation is expected in the third quarter of 2026 (Q3 2026).<\/p>\n
Technical achievements include being the first regional project to use piling-free suction bucket jacket foundations and the global deployment of 14MW turbines with 115m-long blades. The turbine installation campaign concluded in just 275 days.<\/p>\n
\u00d8rsted Region APAC CEO Per Mejnert Kristensen said: \u201cWith all wind turbines now installed, we have achieved an important milestone in Taiwan\u2019s offshore wind expansion and \u00d8rsted\u2019s 8.1GW historically large construction pipeline.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u00d8rsted Greater Changhua offshore wind farms managing director Jayaram Naidu said: \u201cCompleting the offshore wind turbine installation for a 920MW project within a single installation season is a significant achievement, particularly given the short weather window and challenging sea conditions in the Taiwan Strait.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt reflects our disciplined execution, rigorous risk management, and close coordination across marine operations, logistics and installation planning, all underpinned by a strong safety culture.\u201d<\/p>\n
In December 2025, \u00d8rsted\u2019s offshore wind farm, Borkum Riffgrund 3, began power generation<\/a> and supplied its first electricity to the German grid.<\/p>\n
