TotalEnergies and partners inaugurate 640-MW wind farm in Taiwan

TotalEnergies inaugurates 640-MW wind farm off Taiwan

Taiwan

TAIPEI, March 4, 2025 – TotalEnergies holds a 29.46% stake in Yunneng Wind Power Co., the joint venture responsible for the project. The other stakeholders include Skyborn Renewables with 31.98%, EGCO Group with 26.56% and Sojitz with 12%.

The development and construction of the Yunlin project were led by Skyborn with support from its partners. Following the commercial operations date expected in June 2025, TotalEnergies will assume technical operations management, while Skyborn Renewables will continue to provide other management services.

“We are very pleased to be inaugurating the Yunlin offshore wind farm, as we take a new step forward in our offshore wind development,” Olivier Jouny, senior vice-president renewables at TotalEnergies, said.

“This 640-MW project will help us achieve our 2025 targets for 35 GW of gross renewable capacity and over 50 TWh of net electricity production, amounting to 10% of TotalEnergies’ energy output. Our role as technical operator on Yunlin will allow us to strengthen our offshore wind competencies as we look ahead to our future projects in Germany, Denmark and the United Kingdom.”

In Asia, TotalEnergies owns a renewable energy portfolio spanning solar, wind and batteries, with more than 23 GW gross across all stages, from development to construction and operation. Of this capacity, 50% is already operational or under construction.

The Yunlin offshore wind farm is located about 15 kilometres off Taiwan’s west coast, in waters up to 35 metres deep. The project consists of 80 wind turbines, each with a capacity of 8 MW. The electricity generated is supplied to Taiwan Power Company through two 20-year power purchase agreements at an average rate of USD 165 per megawatt-hour.

The Yunlin wind farm produces 2.4 TWh of renewable electricity annually, supplying power to more than 600,000 Taiwanese households and reducing CO2 emissions by approximately 1.2 million tonnes.

As part of its ambition to reach net zero by 2050, TotalEnergies is building a world-class, cost-competitive portfolio combining renewables (solar, onshore and offshore wind) and flexible assets (CCGT, storage) to deliver clean firm power to its customers. By the end of 2024, TotalEnergies’ gross renewable electricity generation installed capacity reached 26 GW. The company aims to expand its renewable business to reach 35 GW in 2025 and more than 100 TWh of net electricity production by 2030.

TotalEnergies’ offshore wind portfolio has a total capacity of 23 GW, with most projects bottom-fixed. These include developments in the United Kingdom (Seagreen, Outer Dowsing, West of Orkney, Erebus), South Korea (Bada), Taiwan (Yunlin, Haiding 2), France (Eolmed), the United States (Attentive Energy and Carolina Long Bay), the Netherlands (OranjeWind), and Germany (Nordsee Energies 1 & 2, Ostsee Energies, N-9.1 and N-9.2).
