The 640-megawatt (MW) Yunlin wind farm offshore Taiwan has started full operations, providing enough electricity to power about 600,000 homes, TotalEnergies said March 4.
The company and its partners recently inaugurated the wind farm. Located about 15 km off Taiwan’s west coast, Yunlin consists of 80 wind turbines.
“This 640 MW project will help us achieve our 2025 targets for 35 GW of gross renewable capacity and over 50 TWh of net electricity production, amounting to 10% of TotalEnergies’ energy output,” said Olivier Jouny, senior vice president of renewables at TotalEnergies. “Our role as technical operator on Yunlin will allow us to strengthen our offshore wind competencies as we look ahead to our future projects in Germany, Denmark and the United Kingdom.”
Development and construction were led by Skyborn Renewables, which holds a 31.98% stake in the project. TotalEnergies has a 29.46% stake in Yunneng Wind Power Co. Ltd., the joint venture responsible for the project, according to the news release. Other stakeholders are EGCO Group with 26.56% and Sojitz with 12%. TotalEnergies serves as the wind farm’s technical operator.
Yunlin is one of the largest wind farms offshore Taiwan.
Skyborn CEO Patrick Lemmers called the project a testament to the company delivering on its promises and creating value. “We promised to deliver it, and we’ve done just that,” he said.
Skyborn will continue to lead management services for the wind farm, while TotalEnergies said it will take the lead on technical operations management.
