Northland Power Inc. announced first power from its Hai Long Offshore Wind Project in Taiwan, marking successful energization of the project and connection to Taipower?s grid. This achievement comes ahead of the second half of 2025, underscoring the project's strong construction momentum. The milestone also includes the commissioning of both onshore and offshore substations, further demonstrating the project's progress toward full commercial operations, anticipated in 2027.

Since the commencement of construction, Hai Long has made substantial progress, including the production of jacket foundations and pin piles, installation of the Hai Long 2 and 3 offshore substations, installation of all 219 pin piles, assembly of Taiwan?s first locally manufactured 14 MW wind turbine nacelle and the installation of 14 out of 73 turbines. With a planned capacity of 1 GW, Hai Long will play a vital role in supporting Taiwan?s renewable energy target of 15 GW of offshore wind between 2026 and 2035. Once operational, Hai Long will be among the largest offshore wind farms in the Asia-Pacific region, providing clean electricity to over one million Taiwanese homes.
