All 80 wind turbine foundations, including both the monopiles and transition pieces, have been installed at the 640-MW Yunlin wind farm off the coast of Taiwan, the company behind the construction and operation of the station announced on Friday.

With 68 wind turbine generators installed, 52 of them already in operation, the project now enters into the final installation phase and remains on track for full completion by the end of 2024, said Yunneng Wind Power Co Ltd.

The Yunlin station is located in the Taiwan Strait, between 8 and 17 kilometres (10.5 mi) off the west coast of Taiwan. Touted as the second-largest offshore wind farm in Taiwan, the site is expected to generate enough clean electricity to power more than 600,000 homes annually.

The project is owned by Germany’s Skyborn Renewables, France’s TotalEnergies, Thai power producer EGCO Group and Japanese trader Sojitz.
