Mott MacDonald is to review the design of the anchor bolt system on the second phase of the 128MW Formosa 1 wind farm, off the coast of Taiwan.
Phase one of the project began commercial operation in April 2017.
The second phase of the project, which is being developed by Orsted, Swancor and Macquarie, will feature 20 turbines and have a generating capacity of 120MW.
It is due to become operational in 2020.
Mott MacDonald was also involved in the first phase, providing technical, environmental and commercial due diligence.
Mott MacDonald project director Jim Chen said: “It’s fantastic to continue our involvement on Taiwan’s first commercial-scale offshore wind project.
“During the financing of Formosa 1’s first phase we reviewed turbine technology, energy yield, project contracts and the operations and maintenance strategy to help financial close to be reached.
“In the commercial phase we undertook a feasibility study and reviewed the engineering design.
“Taiwan’s strong winds and stable regulatory framework are helping it become one of the newest top wind energy players, especially in the Asia-Pacific market.”
