Power for construction of Taiwan’s 900 MW offshore wind farm

Situated between 35km and 60km off the west coast of Changhua County, Taiwan, Ørsted’s Greater Changhua 1 & 2a offshore wind farms holds a total capacity of 900MW. With 111 of 8 MW turbines installed on jacket foundations, the wind farm will produce sufficient renewable energy to meet the demand of nearly 1 million Taiwanese households annually.

In its construction phase, Ørsted’s contractor, Van Oord, required plenty of temporary power for their cable trencher. Without sufficient and reliable power, the installation and burial of the 111 inter array cables in between the wind turbines and the 3 export cables to the substations would be delayed. 

Aggreko has a local dedicated Wind Energy Team with experience serving the wind farm industry.

Our engineers are familiar with seasonal power and temperature control requirements of the industry. We also provided technical advice for the planning, delivery and servicing of the generators.

Our reliable generators and dedicated personnel facilitated the installation and burial of the 111 inter array cables in between the wind turbines and the 3 export cables to the substations.

Aggreko’s planning and dynamic approach helped the customer hit tight deadlines and contributed significantly to Taiwan’s transition to clean and green energy.
