In April 2024, Ørsted inaugurated the 900MW Greater Changhua 1 and 2a offshore wind farms offshore Taiwan, doubling the country’s offshore wind power generation capabilities.

The inauguration occurred at Ørsted’s operations and maintenance hub in the Port of Taichung.

In May, Ørsted appointed energy and marine consultancy ABL to provide marine warranty surveyor (MWS) services for the offshore transportation and installation of wind turbines and cables for the 920MW Greater Changhua 2b and 4 projects.

ABL’s role involves reviewing, surveying and approving all operations related to the transportation and installation of wind turbines and subsea cables.

The contract follows ABL’s appointment for MWS in 2022 for the 900MW Greater Changhua 1 and 2a offshore wind farms.
