Fengmiao will become Copenhagen Infrastructure Partner’s (CIP) first offshore wind project in Taiwan to feature an offshore substation. The signing of the EPC contract signifies the developer’s determination to complete the 500MW project on schedule.

Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners (CIP) announced today that it has signed an engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) contract for an offshore substation for its 500MW Fengmiao project with a consortium consisting of Semco Maritime and PTSC Mechanical & Construction (PTSC M&C).

Semco Maritime is tasked with engineering, procuring, and installing high and medium-voltage, SCADA, and auxiliary systems with support from domestic and foreign suppliers such as TECO Electric and Fortune Electric. Meanwhile, PTSC M&C’s yard in Vungtau City, Vietnam, will handle the fabrication of all structures for this initiative. The contract is slated to compete major milestones by 2026, in time for Fengmiao project’s completion in 2027.

CIP was awarded the first place in Taiwan’s Round 3-1 offshore wind project tender in 2022 to develop the 500MW Fengmiao project in the waters of Taichung City. The project is scheduled to connect to the Taichung Zhongqing Substation in 2027. The wind farm will be equipped with next-generation 15MW wind turbines and jacket foundations.

“Fengmiao is CIP's first project in Taiwan to feature an offshore substation. We are very pleased to cooperate with experienced partners such as Semco Maritime and PTSC M&C,” Claire Lohan, CEO of CIP Taiwan Round 3 projects, said. “Offshore substation is an integral part of an offshore wind farm. By signing this EPC contract, we have taken a big step in the development process of the Fengmaio project and have once again demonstrated our commitment and confidence to complete the project in 2027 as scheduled."
