Siemens Gamesa celebrates landmark installation of 14MW offshore wind turbine
First of 66 Siemens Gamesa SG 14-236 14MW turbines was installed at Orsted’s Greater Changhua 2b and 4 project in Taiwan
Siemens Gamesa is celebrating the first-ever installation of its SG 14-236 14MW offshore wind turbine at an Orsted project in Taiwan.
The European turbine-making giant announced today that the installation at the Orsted Greater Changhua 2b and 4 offshore wind project was the “first-ever installation of the SG 14-236 wind turbine globally.”
“We are proud to see it happen in Taiwan – a growing hub for offshore wind innovation.”
Orsted commenced construction of the 920MW Greater Changhua 2b and 4 offshore wind farm in February. It expects to complete offshore installation by the end of 2025 and achieve full grid connection next year.
The project will feature 66 of the Siemens Gamesa 14MW turbines. The turbines are being transported on the Wind Maker, a wind installation vessel built by Cadeler, which can transport up to four turbines per trip.
The turbine is set to compete for orders against the V236-15.0MW flagship machine produced by Danish rival Vestas.
