Semco Maritime in Engineering Study for Taiwan Offshore Wind Project

Semco Maritime has been selected by a joint venture between Canadian power producer Northland Power Inc. (NPI) and Taiwan-based Yushan Energy for an engineering study for the Hai Long offshore wind farm in the Changhua area in Taiwan.

The scope of the study comprises optimization of the electrical infrastructure hereunder electrical grid studies, assessment of number of offshore substations, sub-sea cable characteristics, design of preliminary offshore substation substructure and topside layout as well as onshore substation layout.

The study will be delivered in cooperation with Taiwanese engineering partners to ensure local requirements are met. The Hai Long projects will have a generating capacity of 1,044 megawatts at two sites off the shore of Changhua County.

“We are very pleased that NPI/Yushan Energy Co. Ltd. has chosen Semco Maritime for this study and we are proud that our services can play a part in helping the Hai Long project with its maturation. We view the Taiwanese market as very promising and we will do our outmost to assist Taiwan with reaching its ambitious 5500 MW offshore wind target by 2025,” says Hasan Jørgensen, senior business development manager for Taiwan, Semco Maritime.
