In June 2018, Ørsted was awarded the right to build another 920 MW offshore wind in Taiwan through its Changhua 2b and 4 sites. Changhua 2b and 4 are to be built in 2025. 

Status: In development 

We have four offshore wind sites off the coast of Changhua County which can be developed into a total capacity of approx. 2,400 MW. In 2018, we won two offshore wind auctions with these projects, which means that we will build 2 x 900 MW in 2021 and 2025. The remaining 600 MW can participate in future auction rounds. Fully utilised, the Changhua projects could jointly power approx. 2.8 million Taiwanese households.
