Offshore construction of the 920?MW project began in February 2025, with wind turbine installation commencing in April last year, executed by wind turbine supplier Siemens Gamesa using Cadeler\u2019s newly built installation vessel, Wind Maker.<\/p>\n<p>The Greater Changhua 2b and 4 offshore wind farms are the first of their kind in the Asia-Pacific region to supply renewable electricity to \u00d8rsted\u2019s corporate customer on the project under a corporate power purchase agreement signed in 2020. Since achieving first power in July 2025, the project has been delivering renewable energy to the national grid.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/221197_b60d622e791b4d13ae6a.jpg\" alt=\"Photo - see caption\" class=\"articleimage\"\/><\/p>\n<p>All wind turbines installed at \u00d8rsted\u2019s 920 MW Greater Changhua 2b and 4 offshore wind farms in Taiwan<\/p>\n<p>Per Mejnert Kristensen,\u00a0CEO\u00a0of Region APAC at \u00d8rsted, says: &#8216;With all wind turbines now installed, we\u2019ve achieved an important\u00a0milestone in Taiwan\u2019s offshore wind expansion\u00a0and\u00a0\u00d8rsted\u2019s 8.1?GW\u00a0historically large construction pipeline.&#8217;\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Jayaram Naidu, Managing Director of Greater Changhua Offshore Wind Farms at \u00d8rsted,\u00a0says:\u00a0&#8216;Completing the offshore wind turbine installation for a 920?MW\u00a0project within a single installation season is a significant achievement, particularly given the short weather window and challenging sea conditions in the Taiwan Strait. It reflects our disciplined execution, rigorous risk management, and close coordination across marine operations,\u00a0logistics, and installation planning, all underpinned by a strong safety culture.&#8217;\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Safety performance is embedded into all phases in the Greater Changhua 2b and 4 offshore wind farms, from contractor selection over vessel mobilisation to offshore operations. Since the start of the wind turbine installation campaign, a total of approximately 131,576 working hours offshore with zero lost-time injuries (LTIs) has been achieved.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The focus now for the project is to efficiently continue the commissioning of the wind turbines,\u00a0the\u00a0electrical system testing, and\u00a0the\u00a0finalisation of offshore cable works. Full commercial operation of Greater\u00a0Changhua 2b and 4 is expected in Q3 2026.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The project has several technical achievements as of today:<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n\tFirst offshore wind project in the Asia-Pacific region to deploy piling-free suction bucket jacket foundations at scale, keeping the underwater noise close to background levels during installation.&#13;<br \/>\n\tFirst offshore wind farms globally to install 14?MW\u00a0wind turbines with 115-metre-long blades \u2013 the largest of their kind in the world \u2013 setting a new benchmark for large-scale\u00a0wind\u00a0turbine\u00a0component\u00a0deployment.&#13;<br \/>\n\tCompletion of the 66-wind turbine installation campaign in only 275 days.\u00a0&#13;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/orsted.com\/en\/media\/news\/2026\/01\/all-wind-turbines-installed-at-orsteds-920-mw-grea-14757941\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Original announcement link<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Source:\u00a0\u00d8rsted<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The installation of the last wind turbine at the 920 MW Greater Changhua 2b and 4 offshore wind&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":53291,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[285],"tags":[12513,835,12503,814,12508,12507,916,12509,12510,12512,12514,856,1343,12516,10035,12517,817,823,12515,12504,12518,12519,287,12506,12511,12505],"class_list":{"0":"post-53290","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-orsted","8":"tag-alternative-energy","9":"tag-drilling","10":"tag-e-p-news","11":"tag-energy","12":"tag-energy-pedia","13":"tag-energy365","14":"tag-exploration-and-production","15":"tag-farmin","16":"tag-farmout","17":"tag-geological-and-geophysical","18":"tag-heavy-oil","19":"tag-hydrocarbon","20":"tag-jobs","21":"tag-licence-round","22":"tag-licensing","23":"tag-noc","24":"tag-offshore","25":"tag-oil","26":"tag-oil-and-gas-condensate","27":"tag-oil-and-gas-exploration","28":"tag-oil-and-gas-ministry","29":"tag-oil-companies","30":"tag-orsted","31":"tag-rig","32":"tag-seismic","33":"tag-upstream"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@dk\/116329757288350172","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/53290","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=53290"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/53290\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/53291"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=53290"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=53290"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=53290"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
