SPIE Wind Connect, the specialist unit of SPIE Global Services Energy focused on high-voltage infrastructure for offshore wind, has been selected to participate in phase II of Taiwan Power Company’s (TPC) offshore wind farm, located around 20 kilometres off the coast of Changhua County. The contract, awarded by Shinfox Far East Energy (SFE), covers the connection and testing of inter-array cables (IACs), which will link 31 Vestas V174 turbines of 9.5 MW each to the offshore substation.
A major energy project for Asia
Work began in August 2025 and will continue through 2026. This contract forms part of a broader strategy to strengthen European industrial presence in the Asian offshore wind market. SPIE, an independent European multi-technical services company, continues its international expansion, supported by expertise developed on similar projects in Northern Europe.
TPC Phase II is designed to build on the success of Phase I, commissioned in November 2021, which provides an installed capacity of 109.2 MW. Once completed, the current phase is expected to generate nearly 1,000 GWh of electricity annually, supplying power to around 270,000 households.
Total capacity and Taiwan’s market outlook
The combined capacity of both phases will exceed 1,350 GWh per year, aligning with Taiwan’s national energy plans that aim for continued offshore development through 2035. Taiwan benefits from strong offshore wind resources and aims to position itself as a regional energy hub.
“This project marks a new milestone in SPIE Wind Connect’s development in the Asian offshore wind market,” said Sam Dowey, Managing Director of SPIE Wind Connect, acknowledging the partnership with Shinfox Far East Energy.
