Wind Energy – Taiwan
Shinfox Far East Energy (SFE) has installed the first jacket foundation for a 300MW offshore wind farm in Taiwan.
The Taipower Offshore Wind Farm Phase 2 offshore wind farm is being developed by TPC, also known as Taipower, about 20km off the coast of Changhua County, Taiwan.
The company completed the 109.2MW TPC phase I, which is also located offshore Changhua County, in November 2021. The combined power production of the two projects is expected to be more than 1.35GWh.
Phase 2 is expected to generate 1GWh of power a year, catering to the annual electricity needs of 270,000 households.
It is expected to reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 403,611 metric tonnes a year.
The jacket is taller than a 20-storey building and heavier than 10 Boeing 747s, reported SFE.
