TotalEnergies (Paris:TTE) (LSE:TTE) (NYSE:TTE) announces the
start of power generation from the first turbine of the Yunlin
offshore wind farm in Taiwan. TotalEnergies joined this project,
operated by wpd, with a 23% interest in May 2021 alongside EGCO
Group and a consortium of Japanese investors led by Sojitz.
The Yunlin offshore wind farm has a capacity of 640 megawatts
(MW) from 80 turbines of 8 MW. Once onstream, it will produce 2.4
terawatt hours (TWh) of renewable electricity per year, enough to
serve the power needs of 605,000 households.
The first turbine was commissioned and successfully connected to
the grid in November, with a target to get a first batch of 9
turbines into full operation mode by end-2021, able to produce 270
GWh per year.
Considered by Taiwan's authorities as a key area for the
development of renewable energies, offshore wind power will
contribute significantly to the objective of generating 20% of
renewable electricity by 2025 while fostering the emergence of a
local wind power industry.
"Despite the challenges caused by the pandemic on construction
activities, the combined efforts of all stakeholders, leveraging
wpd and TotalEnergies' expertise in offshore activities, made the
start of electricity production from this offshore wind farm
possible" said Julien Pouget Senior Vice President Renewables,
TotalEnergies. "This power generation, a first from offshore wind
since our entry into the sector in 2019, is a new step in the
development of our renewable energy footprint".
