Wind Energy – Feng Miao
Already early October 2023, the consortium consisting of Semco Maritime and PTSC Mechanical & Construction (PTSC M&C), led by Semco Maritime, has been awarded an engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) contract for a 500MW offshore substation in the Feng Miao offshore wind farm project.
The project is being developed by Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners, the Danish fund manager dedicated to greenfield renewable energy investments.
The Feng Miao OWF Project is located approximately 36 kilometres off the coast of Taichung city on the Taiwanese west coast and has been awarded 500 MW grid capacity by Taiwan’s Ministry of Economic Affairs with expected commissioning by 2027.
The contract for the offshore substation includes design, engineering, procurement, construction, and commissioning and is effective from early October 2023 with the parties immediately initiating the execution phase for the project.
All structures for this project will be fabricated at PTSC M&C’s yard in Vungtau City (Vietnam) and Semco Maritime will design, procure, and install high and medium voltage, SCADA and auxiliary systems supported by primary sub-contractor ISC Consulting Engineers.
The contract duration is scheduled in the 2023-2026 period.
“Feng Miao is CIP’s first project in Taiwan to feature an offshore substation. We are very pleased to cooperate with experienced partners such as Semco Maritime and PTSC M&C,” Claire Lohan, CEO of CIP Taiwan Round 3 projects, said.
“An offshore substation is an integral part of an offshore wind farm. By signing this EPC contract, we have taken a big step in the development process of the Feng Miao project and have once again demonstrated our commitment and confidence to complete the project in 2027 as scheduled.”
This is the third offshore substation project awarded to the Semco Maritime-PTSC M&C Consortium since the first collaboration in the Hai Long OWF Project recently followed by the Baltica 02 project. Both projects are on-going and progressing according to plan.
