Wind Energy – Taiwan
During a ceremony held in Taipei, TotalEnergies and its partners announced the successful inauguration of the Yunlin offshore wind farm in Taiwan, which is now fully operational and generating renewable electricity at its planned capacity of 640 MW.
The development and construction of the Yunlin project were led by Skyborn with the support of the other partners.
Following the Commercial Operations Date (COD), expected in June 2025, TotalEnergies will take the lead in technical operations management, whilst Skyborn Renewables will continue to lead other management services.
“We are very pleased to be inaugurating the Yunlin offshore wind farm, as we take a new step forward in our offshore wind development,” said Olivier Jouny, Senior Vice President Renewables at TotalEnergies.”
“This 640 MW project will help us achieve our 2025 targets for 35 GW of gross renewable capacity and over 50 TWh of net electricity production, amounting to 10% of TotalEnergies’ energy output. Our role as technical operator on Yunlin will allow us to strengthen our offshore wind competencies as we look ahead to our future projects in Germany, Denmark, and the United Kingdom.”
The Yunlin offshore wind farm is located about 15 kilometers off the west coast of Taiwan, at water depths of up to 35 meters. The project consists of 80 wind turbines, each with 8 MW capacity.
