Overview

  • Siemens Gamesa will supply 35 turbines rated at 14 MW each for the Formosa 4 offshore wind farm off Miaoli County.
  • Nacelles will be produced at Siemens Gamesa’s Taichung facility, while foundations will come from local manufacturer Century Wind Power.
  • Cadeler is contracted for turbine transport and installation and Seaway7 will install the inter-array cables, with offshore work slated to start in 2028.
  • The 495 MW project secured an establishment permit in November 2024 after winning capacity in Taiwan’s Phase 3 Zonal Development auction in late 2022.
  • Once operational, Formosa 4 is projected to generate enough electricity for about 500,000 households and marks SRE’s third collaboration with Siemens Gamesa in Taiwan.
