Following a grid allocation process, Taiwan’s Ministry of Economic Affairs has awarded Ørsted the right to connect 900MW offshore wind capacity to Taiwan’s power grid.

Ørsted will deliver the first large-scale commercial offshore wind farms in the Changhua region. The 605MW Changhua 1 and 295MW Changhua 2 projects are both expected to achieve a grid connection in 2021, subject to Ørsted’s final investment decision.

Martin Neubert, Executive Vice President and CEO of Ørsted Wind Power, says: “This is a breakthrough moment for offshore wind in the Asia-Pacific region. We’re proud to be trusted with this important and large assignment, which will be a landmark in Taiwan’s ambitious transition to renewable energy.”

Matthias Bausenwein, General Manager for Ørsted in Asia-Pacific, says: “We’re honored by the grid allocation results announced today. Ørsted is fully committed to deliver world class wind power plants for Taiwan on time to accompany the ambitious green energy targets in Taiwan.

"We’ll collaborate closely with central and local governments, and, as outlined in our grid application, we’re determined to build up the local supply chain, engage in local communities and transfer knowledge to Taiwan while developing local talent.”

The next step for Ørsted’s two projects is to obtain the establishment permit and to secure the feed-in-tariff by signing a power purchase agreement with Taipower.
