Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners (CIP) has completed construction of the 300-megawatt Zhong Neng offshore wind farm, a joint venture through CIP’s Copenhagen Infrastructure IV (CI IV) fund and China Steel Corp. (CSC).
Zhong Neng, located off the coast of Changhua County in Taiwan, is the first offshore wind farm in the country to be completed ahead of schedule and the second offshore wind farm completed in Taiwan by CIP this year, following the inauguration of the 600-megawatt Changfang-Xidao.
CIP said Zhong Neng meets the highest localization requirements in the history of Taiwan's offshore wind sector. The project was constructed by a team led by Copenhagen Offshore Partners, CIP’s exclusive offshore wind development partner, and the local Copenhagen Infrastructure Service Company, the global service provider to CIP.
Zhong Neng received local content plan approval from the Taiwan government in November 2019, and the first turbines were installed in May 2
