Located approximately 10 km to 17 km offshore from the west coast of Changhua in central Taiwan, Zhong Neng is adjacent to Changfang and Xidao offshore wind farm, and spread over an area of 36.54 km2.
The project will be split into two campaigns, with the first campaign scheduled for July 2023.
The first phase involves the splicing and testing of the export fiber optic cables at the onshore Transition Joint Bay.
The second phase is expected to commence Q2 2024, and consists of the termination and testing activities for the high voltage power cores and fiber optic cables within the export and IAC subsea cables.
The Zhong Neng Offshore Wind Farm consists of 31 Vestas V174-9.5 MW turbines with a combined capacity of 298 MW, enough clean energy to power approximately 300,000 Taiwanese households annually.
Sam Dowey, Managing Director at Correll, commented: “We are delighted to have been awarded this project and to be again working in close partnership with Seaway 7. This contract firmly establishes Correll Group as a leading service provider to the Taiwanese offshore renewable sector.”
