Ørsted’s first ever 'largest of its kind' 14 MW wind turbine is installed at the Greater Changhua 2b and 4 offshore wind farms in Taiwan.
It is a pivotal
moment for Ørsted APAC as they accelerate delivery and scale impact across
our three core markets: Taiwan, Australia, and Korea.
In Taiwan, momentum is strong at their 920 MW Greater Changhua 2b and 4
project. They have installed Ørsted’s first ever 14 MW offshore wind turbine
also the largest of its kind installed in Taiwan. They have also completed
their first suction bucket jacket (SBJ) foundations outside Europe and
energised Taiwan’s first industry leading 345kV high voltage substation
in collaboration with Taiwan Power Company. With all 66 foundations now
manufactured and subsea cable installation underway, the project is advancing
steadily and on schedule.
In Australia,
they have secured key state and federal permits and launched their offshore
geo-technical campaign. Their team was delighted to showcase the capabilities
of their un-crewed surface vessel (USV) at Barry Beach Marine Terminal,
Victoria in supporting the critical survey work for the Gippsland project
to Minister Lily d'Ambrosio and representatives from Gunai kurnai Land
and Waters Aboriginal Corporate (GLaWAC).
In Korea, the
team continues to make solid progress despite a complex political landscape.
Geophysical investigations are underway, and with permits granted, stakeholder
agreements in place, and marine surveys ongoing, they now await the last
outstanding approvals before they can start the geo-technical investigations
and design development. They deeply appreciate the dedication of the APAC
team and the continued support from the relevant authorities in helping
us move forward.
These milestones
reflect more than project progress they demonstrate how they are turning
ambition into action.
