Project Overview
The Greater Changhua 2b and 4 offshore wind farms in Taiwan have completed the installation of 66 state-of-the-art 14 MW SG 14-236 wind turbines, totaling a capacity of 920 MW. Located 35–60 kilometers off the coast of Changhua County, the project marks a significant milestone in the Asia-Pacific offshore wind industry.
Construction Timeline
Offshore construction began in February 2025, with wind turbine installation starting in April 2025. The installation was executed by Siemens Gamesa using Cadeler’s newly built installation vessel, Wind Maker. The project achieved first power in July 2025 and is expected to reach full commercial operation by Q3 2026.
Technical Achievements
The project is the first in the Asia-Pacific region to use piling-free suction bucket jacket foundations, minimizing underwater noise during installation. It is also the first globally to install 14 MW wind turbines with 115-meter-long blades, setting a new benchmark for large-scale wind turbine component deployment. The installation campaign completed 66 turbines in 275 days.
Safety and Future Plans
Safety performance was a priority, with approximately 131,576 working hours offshore completed without any lost-time injuries. The focus now shifts to commissioning the wind turbines, electrical system testing, and finalizing offshore cable works.
