The wind farm produced its first energy in April 2022, after the set up and energisation of the primary batch of its Siemens Gamesa SG 8.0-167 DD generators.
Now, practically 85 per cent of the wind generators are related to the grid, representing roughly 700 MW, making it the biggest grid-connected capability for a single wind farm in Taiwan, Ørsted mentioned.

The developer mentioned that the 900 MW Larger Changhua 1 and 2a wind farm has generated clear electrical energy equal to decreasing 830,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions for the reason that first turbine was related to the grid.
“For the reason that starting of steadily connecting Larger Changhua wind farms, we noticed constantly and steadily clear electrical energy produced, particularly throughout the winter months. That is proof that the beneficial wind circumstances within the Taiwan Strait and the carbon discount advantages that large-scale wind farms can carry,” mentioned Wang.
The completion of the wind farm was deliberate for 2023 nevertheless it was pushed again to 2024 after Ørsted introduced in November 2023 that it was experiencing delays because of bottlenecks within the provide chain.
