Wedoany.com Report-Sept. 7, SPIE Wind Connect, a subsidiary of SPIE Global Services Energy, has secured a contract to perform termination and testing of inter-array cables for the Taipower Offshore Wind Project Phase II (TPC Phase II) in Taiwan. The agreement was awarded by Shinfox Far East Energy and covers work at the offshore wind farm located around 20 kilometers from Changhua County.

The company started its activities in August, with final completion planned for 2026. The inter-array cables will connect 31 Vestas V174-9.5 MW wind turbines to the project’s offshore substation, which was recently installed at the construction site.

TPC Offshore Phase II, with a capacity of 300 MW, is among the eleven offshore wind developments that were selected by the Taiwanese government in April 2018. Once in full operation, the project is expected to produce approximately 1,000 GWh of electricity per year. This generation capacity will supply power for around 270,000 households and is anticipated to reduce annual carbon dioxide (CO₂) emissions by more than 403,000 tons.

The project plays a significant role in Taiwan’s broader renewable energy strategy, supporting the development of offshore wind as part of its long-term energy diversification goals. The use of advanced wind turbines and modern offshore substation infrastructure is designed to enhance reliability and efficiency in power delivery.

SPIE Wind Connect’s involvement demonstrates the company’s growing presence in the Asian offshore wind market. The work scope, covering termination and testing of inter-array cables, is critical for ensuring seamless connections between turbines and the offshore substation. This stage of the project marks a key milestone in preparing the wind farm for future electricity generation and integration into the local grid.

With a timeline extending to 2026, the project reflects ongoing investment in large-scale offshore wind capacity. By linking 31 high-capacity turbines to the grid, TPC Phase II is positioned to provide a substantial contribution to Taiwan’s electricity mix. The expected outcome of supplying over 1,000 GWh annually not only supports household consumption but also contributes to emissions reduction targets through sustainable energy generation.

The award of this contract builds on SPIE’s expertise in energy infrastructure services and strengthens cooperation with local and international partners engaged in offshore wind development. By ensuring high-quality termination and testing of the inter-array cables, the company is contributing to the overall reliability and efficiency of the TPC Phase II wind farm.

Overall, the project highlights the continuing expansion of offshore wind in Taiwan, with TPC Phase II set to deliver significant renewable electricity, enhance energy security, and reduce reliance on conventional energy sources. It is an important step toward meeting future electricity demand through clean and sustainable solutions.
