Offshore wind projects in Europe and Asia reach key milestones

Construction has begun on the 795MW OranjeWind offshore wind farm in the Dutch North Sea, while Ørsted’s 920MW Greater Changhua 2b and 4 project in Taiwan has entered its final commissioning phase.

  • OranjeWind offshore wind farm is a joint venture project by RWE and TotalEnergies. The 795 megawatt (MW) wind farm will be located 53 kilometers from the Dutch coast. With the first monopiles installed, construction of the project has officially started. Installation of the inter-array cables will take place at the end of 2026. 
  • Ørsted has marked the completion of major construction works at its 920 MW Greater Changhua 2b and 4 offshore wind farms in Taiwan, with the combined project now in the final commissioning phase and expected to enter full commercial operation in late Q3 2026. Greater Changhua 2b and 4 comprise 66 Siemens Gamesa 14 MW turbines, all of which were installed by January 2026.

The 53 turbines will be installed over the course of 2027 and the wind farm is expected to be fully commissioned in 2028. It will generate enough electricity to power the equivalent of one million Dutch households each year.
