Taiwan: SPIE Wind Connect, a subsidiary of SPIE Global Services Energy, has secured a major contract to support Phase II of the Taiwan Power Company (TPC) offshore wind farm. The award strengthens SPIE’s position as a strategic partner in Asia’s fast-growing renewable energy sector.
Under the agreement, SPIE will carry out the installation and testing of interarray subsea cables, a critical step in transmitting electricity from turbines to the offshore substation. Located 20 km off the coast of Changhua, the project involves connecting 31 Vestas V174 9.5 MW wind turbines to the grid.
Phase II is expected to generate around 1,000 GWh annually, enough to supply approximately 270,000 households, while reducing carbon emissions by an estimated 403,000 metric tonnes each year. This expansion builds on the success of Phase I, where SPIE also played a role, and raises the total output of the wind farm to more than 1,350 GWh annually.
The contract was awarded by Shinfox Far East Energy, which recognised SPIE’s strong track record in high-voltage engineering solutions and operational expertise in Asia.
“This project further consolidates our role in delivering efficient and sustainable energy infrastructure in Asia,” SPIE stated, highlighting its contribution to Taiwan’s renewable energy goals.
The TPC II development is part of Taiwan’s wider strategy to strengthen its renewable energy mix, with targets extending to 2035. By leveraging its offshore wind potential, Taiwan is reinforcing both its sustainability agenda and long-term energy security.
