Greater Changhua Offshore Wind Farms

The Greater Changhua Offshore Wind Farms are a series of offshore wind farms currently under construction off the coast of Changhua County, Taiwan.

History
The project was approved by the Environmental Protection Administration in February 2018 and is owned by Ørsted. The approval for Ørsted to connect the wind power to Taiwan's electrical grid was granted in April 2018. The construction for the 900 MW wind farms began with the onshore construction for Changhua 1 and Changhua 2A wind farms in November 2019. The first turbines sent electricity to the grid in April 2022, and completion is expected for year's end. A coral growth program tests ability to mitigate coral bleaching.
