SPIE Wind Connect has been awarded a contract to perform termination and testing of inter-array cables for the 300-megawatt Taipower Offshore Wind Farm Phase 2 (TPC-II) off the coast of Changhua County, Taiwan.
The contract was issued by Shinfox Far East Energy (SFE), the developer overseeing the project. Under the agreement, SPIE will handle the connection of 31 Vestas V174-9.5MW turbines to the offshore substation. The work began in August 2025 and is expected to be completed in 2026.
“This project marks another significant milestone in SPIE Wind Connect’s growing presence in Asia’s offshore wind sector,” said Sam Dowey, managing director of SPIE Wind Connect. “As Taiwan establishes itself as a regional leader in offshore wind, with a robust project pipeline through 2035 and world-class wind resources, we are honoured to be entrusted by Shinfox Far East Energy to contribute to the country’s energy transition.”
The TPC-II project follows the completion of TPC Phase 1, which added 109.2MW of capacity in 2021. Once operational, Phase 2 is expected to generate around 1,000 gigawatt-hours (GWh) of electricity annually—enough to power approximately 270,000 homes—while reducing carbon dioxide emissions by more than 403,000 metric tonnes per year.
Taiwan is advancing its offshore wind ambitions as part of a broader plan to diversify energy sources and cut emissions. The country has set long-term targets to grow its renewable capacity, with offshore wind playing a central role in its energy strategy.
