Last month, Vestas received a 295MW order for the Zhong Neng offshore wind project, which is located offshore from Changhua County, Taiwan.
Under the contract, the company will deliver 31 Vestas V174-9.5MW turbines, which will have the capacity to power 300,000 Taiwanese households a year.
The Zhong Neng offshore wind project is being developed jointly by Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners and China Steel Corporation.
In the same month, Vestas announced it would withdraw fully from Russia as the country continued its invasion of Ukraine.
The company has suspended all new commercial activities in Russia and planned to halt its four wind farm projects in the country that were in development at the start of the invasion.
It withdrew from the Russian market after previously stating that it would proceed with ongoing contracts.
