Zhongneng Offshore Wind Farm Completed, with TECO Serving as the Onshore Substation EPC Contractor

Zhongneng Offshore Wind Farm held a completion ceremony on the 4th, jointly developed by China Steel Corporation and Denmark's CIP, with TECO contracted for the onshore substation EPC project. All turbines were installed, and the overall project was completed in August, with expectations for grid connection and power generation by year-end.

Situated off the coast of Changhua County, Zhongneng wind farm boasts capacity of 300 MW. According to the EPC contract signed in July 2020, TECO is responsible for the design and planning of the substation, the construction of the external piping system and connection of the onshore cables, engineering works, and supply and installation of major equipment, and testing. Regarding the provision of major equipment, including 161kV & 66kV GIS (Gas Insulated Switchgear) equipment and emergency generators, low-voltage distribution panels, air conditioning units, etc., all are products supplied by TECO.  This project can be a milestone of high localization of the offshore wind power industry in Taiwan. Zhongneng wind farm is expected to generate 1.1 billion kilowatts/hour of electricity annually, capable of cutting carbon emission by 555,000 tons.

The facility will boost the accumulated capacity of the substations built by TECO to nearly 2.5GW, for 35% market share, the largest in Taiwan. Meanwhile, as a contractor of Taiwan Power Company's project boosting grid resilience, TECO has completed the Longtan energy storage system project and is undertaking the STACOM project on an EPC basis. TECO emphasized its commitment to pursuing sustainable and net-zero project opportunities in the Taiwan market, bringing international project experience back home to establish top-notch engineering technologies in Taiwan.
