CSBC and DEME joint venture secures Taiwanese wind farm contract with Ørsted
CSBC-DEME Wind Engineering (CDWE), a joint venture between Taiwanese shipbuilder CSBC Corporation and DEME Offshore from Belgium has won a new offshore wind contract in Taiwan.
Danish renewables developer Ørsted has selected CDWE to carry out seabed levelling and scour protection for the Greater Changhua 2b and 4 offshore wind farms.
The scope of work covers both the offshore substation and the 66 wind turbine generator locations. Work is set to begin in the first quarter of 2025, utilising DEME’s hopper dredger and fallpipe ships.
The 920 MW Greater Changhua 2b and 4 wind farms will be located 35-60 km off the coast of Changhua County in Taiwan.
DEME and its affiliates have already secured several contracts in the Taiwanese offshore wind sector. In August, Green Jade, the first Taiwan-built offshore wind installation vessel, operated by CDWE, started the installation campaign for the jacket foundations of the 298 MW Zhong Neng offshore wind farm. DEME has also secured contracts for the Hai Long wind farm in, as well as turbine installation contracts for the Changfang and Xidao, and Zhong Neng offshore wind farms.
