The Hai Long Offshore Wind Project has reached a major construction milestone, with all 37 turbines at the 532MW Hai Long 2 site now successfully installed.
Electricity from the project has been progressively connected to Taipower’s grid since June, delivering a significant contribution to Taiwan’s target of sourcing 20% of its energy from renewables by 2026, according to the developer.
Installation of the 36 turbines for the adjacent Hai Long 3 Offshore Wind Farm will be completed next year, bringing the total number of Siemens Gamesa 14MW units across the two sites to 73.
To meet the project’s turbine supply needs, Siemens Gamesa expanded its Taichung nacelle plant into a full-scale production facility – its first outside Europe and the largest offshore wind nacelle plant in the Asia-Pacific region.
The upgraded factory continues to deliver nacelles for Hai Long 3, with completion scheduled for the first quarter of 2026.
All turbines for Hai Long 2 were delivered by July, with installation finalised in early October. Deliveries for Hai Long 3 will conclude by mid-2026, followed by transportation and installation.
The Hai Long Project said it will continue to work with local and international partners to drive Taiwan’s transition toward a net-zero and sustainable future.
The project is owned by a consortium comprising Northland Power, Gentari and Mitsui.
