Green Jade installs Taiwan’s largest offshore wind foundations
CDWE, the Taiwanese joint venture, has successfully completed the installation of all 73 jacket foundations for the Hai Long offshore wind farm, ahead of schedule. The project, located in the Taiwan Strait and exceeding 1 GW capacity, is one of the country’s most ambitious offshore wind developments.
In brief
The joint venture CDWE has completed ahead of schedule the installation of all 73 jacket foundations for the Hai Long project of more than 1 GW in the Taiwan Strait. Earlier, 219 foundation piles were installed, and the work was carried out with the installation vessel Green Jade, the first vessel of this type built entirely in Taiwan. The Hai Long project foundations are the largest ever built in Taiwan. Through the Hai Long project, CDWE has contributed to the creation of nearly 1.5 GW of offshore wind capacity in the Asia-Pacific region.
This milestone follows the earlier completion of 219 pin piles, and further demonstrates the progress of Hai Long as a key contributor to Taiwan’s energy transition.
The installation works were carried out by the offshore installation vessel Green Jade – the first such vessel built entirely in Taiwan. The jackets installed at Hai Long are the largest offshore wind foundations ever constructed in the country, underscoring Taiwan’s growing industrial capabilities in offshore wind.
The achievement was made possible through the expertise and cooperation of CDWE’s teams, partners, and suppliers, ensuring safe and efficient execution. With Hai Long, CDWE has now contributed to nearly 1.5 GW of offshore wind capacity across the Asia-Pacific region.
