CSBC-DEME Wind Engineering has successfully installed the first offshore substation (OSS) topside at the 1044MW Hai Long Offshore Wind Farm in Taiwan.
This is a major milestone for CDWE and GreenJade following the vessel’s successful completion of multiple jacket installations from a barge, jacket installations from deck, pin pile installation, and now also complete OSS installations.
Measuring 52 metres in length, 38 metres in width, and 32 metres in height, and weighing more than 2800 tonnes, the OSS topside sits on a four-legged steel jacket foundation installed a week ago.
The Hai Long site is located about 50km off the coast of Changhua County in Taiwan.
The project will feature 73 14MW Siemens Gamesa turbines installed on jacket foundations.
