en.Wedoany.com Reported - The Danish offshore wind developer has announced the latest progress on the Greater Changhua 4 project (583 MW) in Taiwan, with all 42 wind turbines now connected to the Taiwan Power Company grid and generating electricity in Taiwanese waters.

This progress reflects the rapid pace of offshore commissioning work in Taiwanese waters, with vessel coordination, submarine cable installation, and wind turbine integration activities continuously intensifying within the project area. Array cables, acting as the internal nervous system of the offshore wind farm, connect the turbines to the offshore substation, which then transmits the power to shore. Completing all 66 cable connections eliminates one of the most technically demanding phases of offshore construction operations.

For project cargo and offshore logistics contractors, this achievement highlights Taiwan's growing maturity as a regional offshore wind hub. Installation activities in the Taiwan Strait require tight scheduling around seasonal weather windows, vessel availability, and port infrastructure constraints. The development of the Greater Changhua project relies on an extensive offshore supply chain, involving heavy lift vessels, cable laying ships, subsea engineering teams, and grid specialists. The energization of cables and connection of turbines means multiple offshore systems are now live and operational.

Ørsted stated that commissioning and grid integration activities are still underway, with engineers continuing to synchronize submarine cables, the offshore substation, and turbine systems to ensure long-term stable operation. This phase is akin to testing every electrical circuit in a floating industrial city before handing over the keys. Once the turbines begin spinning at an offshore wind farm, final commercial operation still depends on months of integration testing and reliability checks.

Taiwan has identified offshore wind power as a strategic component of its industrial and energy transition plans, particularly against the backdrop of manufacturers and technology companies seeking more low-carbon electricity supply. The Greater Changhua 2b and 4 projects are expected to provide renewable energy power to Taiwan's energy mix, while supporting ongoing offshore construction activities and marine logistics demands in the region.
