The 376MW Formosa 2 offshore wind farm off Taiwan has achieved first power, following the installation of 12 turbines.
With support of project sponsors, engineering, financing and supply chain partners, the Formosa 2 team has worked through challenging weather conditions to use all available weather windows and make steady progress on the project.
Installation of the jacket foundations and array cables began in April and May respectively, with turbine installation commencing at the start of June.
The project has now completed more than half of the foundation installations and more than a quarter of the turbines have been installed.
Formosa 2 project director Michael Klingele said the team “has persisted in advancing construction works, with strong health, safety and environmental performance and high sustainability standards”.
Formosa 2 is being jointly developed by JERA (49%), Macquarie’s Green Investment Group (26%) and Swancor Renewable Energy (25%).
