The Hai Long Offshore Wind Project has completed installation of all 37 turbines at its 532-megawatt Hai Long 2 site, marking a key milestone in Taiwan’s offshore wind development and broader renewable energy ambitions.
The project has been progressively supplying power to Taipower’s grid since June, according to the developer, supporting Taiwan’s target of generating 20% of its electricity from renewable sources by 2026.
“Electricity from the project has been progressively connected to Taipower’s grid since June, delivering a significant contribution to Taiwan’s target of sourcing 20% of its energy from renewables by 2026,” the consortium said in a statement.
A total of 73 Siemens Gamesa 14MW turbines will be installed across the Hai Long 2 and Hai Long 3 sites. Installation of the remaining 36 turbines for Hai Long 3 is scheduled to be completed in 2026.
To meet the project’s turbine supply needs, Siemens Gamesa expanded its Taichung facility into a full-scale nacelle production plant — its first outside Europe and the largest of its kind in the Asia-Pacific region. The upgraded factory continues to produce nacelles for the Hai Long 3 phase, with completion expected in the first quarter of 2026.
Turbine deliveries for Hai Long 2 were finalised by July, with installation concluding in early October. Deliveries for Hai Long 3 will continue into mid-2026, followed by transport and installation.
The Hai Long project is owned by a consortium comprising Northland Power (Canada), Gentari (Malaysia), and Mitsui & Co. (Japan). The group said it would continue collaborating with local and international partners to support Taiwan’s energy transition goals.
“The Hai Long Project said it will continue to work with local and international partners to drive Taiwan’s transition toward a net-zero and sustainable future,” the statement added.
