Hai Long Offshore Wind Project (Hai Long) has selected CSBC Corporation, Taiwan (CSBC) as its supplier of 63 pin piles of the jacket foundations for the Hai Long 2A wind farm. The two parties signed the fabrication contract at the end of last year. The collaboration reached a new milestone this month— CSBC procured tons of steel, built a brand-new production line, and held the First Cut of Steel Ceremony on the 10th of this month. The final batch of foundation pin piles is expected to be delivered in the third quarter of next year. Hai Long will leverage the expertise and proven track records of CSBC to achieve the localization goal on schedule and with high quality.
Hai Long Project has a total installed capacity of 1,044MW and is located 50 kilometers off the coast of Changhua. The water depth reaches up to 55 meters, making the project challenging in terms of the scale of installation and geological environment. After a comprehensive evaluation, Hai Long finally chose CSBC as the partner for pin piles.
Frank Spee, EPCI Director of Hai Long, said, " “We have great confidence in CSBC’s abilities and we know that they are capable of delivering these piles safely and to the required standards. Not only is this of critical importance to the project, but it is essential to demonstrate that the Taiwanese supply chain is able to supply reliably to ensure the domestic offshore wind industry can meet its growth targets.”
Wei Cheng-Tzu, General Manager of CSBC said, "We are happy to hold the First Cut of Steel Ceremony this month to undertake the production of pin piles for Hai Long. CSBC has the relevant practical experience, and we are confident that we will deliver the products on time and with quality. We expect to deliver the last batch of pin piles in the third quarter of next year, and hope to work closely with Hai Long to complete the project."
The total installed capacity of the Hai Long Offshore Wind Farm is 1,044 MW, which is expected to be connected to the grid for power generation between 2025 and 2026. After reaching the commercial operation date, the wind farm will become the largest single wind farm in Taiwan's history and will be able to provide over 1GW of clean energy and supply electricity to more than one million households.
