DEME wins contract for construction at Taiwanese offshore wind farm

DEME, through its Taiwanese joint venture CDWE, has been awarded a contract by Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners for the transport and installation of foundations and the offshore substation for the Fengmiao 1 offshore wind farm in Taiwan.

CDWE will be responsible for the transport and installation of 33 jacket foundations, the pin piles anchoring them to the seabed, and the offshore substation.

CDWE was formed through a partnership between CSBC, the largest shipbuilder in Taiwan, and DEME.

For the Fengmiao 1 project, CDWE will deploy its offshore installation vessel Green Jade. The installation works are scheduled to commence in the first quarter of 2026.

Fengmiao 1, developed by Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners, is located 35 kilometres off the coast of Taichung and has a capacity of 500 MW, providing renewable energy to Taiwanese businesses.

This will be the third foundation installation project for CDWE and Green Jade following the completion of the 300MW Zhong Neng wind farm and ongoing work on the 1GW Hai Long 2 offshore wind farm.
