CIP Orders Substation for Taiwanese Offshore Wind Farms at TECO
TECO, as the general engineering contractor for the project, will purchase mainly indigenous electrical equipment for the project, to be in line with the government's localization policy for wind power.
TECO will also construct submarine cables to transmit power output of the two wind farms, to be developed by CIP, to the substation. The two wind farms off the coast of Changhua County have a combined capacity of 600 MW and will be built in two stages. Grid connection is scheduled for the end of 2021 and 2023, respectively.
Ho Yi-kai, CEO of CIP Taiwan, cites TECO's strength in design, manufacturing, testing, and electric equipment, as main reasons for selecting it as the general engineering contract for the project. The project is scheduled to break ground in early 2020.
