CIP was awarded capacity for Fengmiao 1 in the first round of Taiwan’s Round 3 Zonal Development Offshore Wind Auction in December 2022. The entire Fengmiao offshore wind project, located some 35 kilometres off the coast of Taichung in central Taiwan, will have an installed capacity of 1,800 MW.

The project, being developed by Copenhagen Offshore Partners (COP) on behalf of CIP, will comprise 33 15 MW offshore wind turbines and will be CIP’s first offshore wind farm in Taiwan to feature an offshore substation.

The monopiles will be supplied by South Korean company SK oceanplant while the units will be installed by CSBC-DEME Wind Engineering (CDWE), a joint venture between Belgium’s DEME and Taiwanese shipbuilder CSBC.
