IOG Wind has signed a multi-year operations and maintenance (O&M) contract for the 1-gigawatt Hai Long offshore wind project, led by Northland Power, located off the coast of Taiwan, the company said on Wednesday.
The deal is IOG Wind’s second long-term O&M agreement since its founding in 2018 and the first since it became a wholly owned subsidiary of International Ocean Group in 2023.
Under the contract, IOG Wind will provide inspection and maintenance services for the offshore substation, transition pieces and subsea foundations. The scope also includes subsea cable inspections and support for the onshore substation.
The Hai Long project, located approximately 45 to 70 kilometres off the coast of Changhua, comprises the Hai Long 2 and Hai Long 3 sites. It will feature 73 wind turbines with a total generation capacity of more than 1GW.
Grid connection is expected between 2025 and 2026, with full commercial operations scheduled by the end of 2026.
“As the largest offshore wind project in Asia-Pacific, we have already signed over 100 contracts worth more than NT$40 billion with Taiwanese suppliers,” said Tim Kittelhake, Chief Executive and Project Director of Hai Long. “As we move toward grid connection and operations, we are confident that IOG Wind’s expertise will ensure stable, safe and efficient performance while supporting the long-term growth of Taiwan’s offshore supply chain.”
Vincent Tsai, Chairman of International Ocean Group, said the agreement highlights the company’s growing capabilities in the offshore sector.
“We are honoured to have secured this important contract,” Tsai said. “This achievement demonstrates that our professionalism continues to earn client trust. We will keep driving local supply chain development and help Hai Long maximise performance throughout its operational cycle while contributing to Taiwan’s sustainable energy future.”
The Hai Long project is a joint venture between Canada-based Northland Power and Taiwan-based Yushan Energy.
