Vestas has secured a 495MW order from Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners for the Fengmiao 1 offshore wind project off the coast of Taichung, Taiwan.
The deal covers 33 V236-15.0MW turbines as well as a long-term service agreement designed to ensure optimised performance of the assets, the OEM said.
The contract, which was first reported on 10 October 2024 in subscriber-only reNEWS, marks Vestas’s first firm order for the model in Taiwan.
Construction of Fengmiao 1 is scheduled to be completed by the end of 2027.
“We are honoured to deepen our partnership with CIP on the Fengmiao I project, our inaugural venture in Taiwan featuring the V236-15.0 MW turbine,” said Purvin Patel, President of Vestas Asia Pacific.
“This project marks the start of construction for Taiwan’s first Round 3 offshore wind project and reinforces our commitment to delivering innovative clean energy solutions and supporting Taiwan’s ambitious renewable energy goals.
“By leveraging our world-class technology and operational expertise, we aim to contribute significantly to the region’s sustainable energy infrastructure and drive the growth of offshore wind energy in Asia Pacific.”
Mark Wainwright, Fengmiao 1 project CEO, added: “We are proud to collaborate with Vestas for the third time in Taiwan, and even more so to be the first to deploy their cutting-edge V236-15.0 MW turbine.
This milestone reflects our ambition to lead with innovation and set new benchmarks in performance, reliability, and sustainability. We are confident that, together, we will deliver the Fengmiao I project on schedule, safely, and to the highest standards.
“We look forward to playing a key role in supporting Taiwan’s energy transition and long-term renewable energy goals”.
