CIP and Google Sign PPA for 500 MW Fengmiao 1 Offshore Wind Project in Taiwan
Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners (CIP) has signed a power purchase agreement with Google for the 500 MW Fengmiao 1 offshore wind project, marking Google’s first offshore wind PPA in Asia Pacific. Located off Taiwan’s Taichung coast, the project reached financial close in March 2025 and will feature 33 Vestas 15 MW turbines. Scheduled to be operational by 2027, Fengmiao 1 will supply renewable energy to power Google’s data centers and offices in Taiwan. The deal advances both Taiwan’s energy transition and Google’s global sustainability goals.
First Turbine Installed at Hai Long Offshore Wind Farm in Taiwan
The first Siemens Gamesa SG 14-222 DD turbine has been installed at the 1 GW Hai Long offshore wind farm, located off Taiwan’s west coast. This milestone marks the beginning of turbine installation for the project, which will feature 73 of these 14 MW turbines, each with a rotor diameter of 222 meters and a total height exceeding 230 meters. The Hai Long project is a joint venture between Northland Power and Yushan Energy, with full commissioning expected by 2026. This development contributes significantly to Taiwan’s renewable energy goals.
Dominion Energy’s 2.6 GW Offshore Wind Project Progresses with Prysmian’s Monna Lisa
Dominion Energy’s Coastal Virginia Offshore Wind (CVOW) project, the largest offshore wind initiative in the U.S., is advancing steadily. The project has reached the halfway mark, with Belgian marine contractor DEME overseeing the installation of 176 Siemens Gamesa SG 14-222 DD turbines, each with a capacity of 14.7 MW. Prysmian’s cable-laying vessel, Monna Lisa, is facilitating the installation of undersea cables connecting the turbines to the onshore grid. Despite ongoing litigation that could impact its future, the project remains on schedule, aiming to supply clean energy to approximately 660,000 homes upon completion.
