All typhoon-proof Hitachi turbines in at Taiwan's second offshore wind pilot array

Jan de Nul has completed the installation of all 21 typhoon-proof Hitachi wind turbines for Taiwan Power Company’s (TPC) 109MW Windfarm Phase 1 project (formerly called Changhua phase 1) in the Taiwan Strait.

TPC’s delayed project off the coast of Fangyuan, in central-western Taiwan is the island’s second offshore wind project nearing completion. So far, the 128MW Formosa 1 project built by Swancor (and majority-owned by Macquarie) with Siemens Gamesa turbines is the only operating offshore wind farm in the country.
