GPSC celebrated the success in completing the construction of the first windfarm project in the portfolio with CIP, manifesting the potential of 600MW Changfang and Xidao Offshore Windfarm (CFXD) in Taiwan despite the challenges from geographic limitations, natural disasters, and the obligation on local supply chain in Taiwan. The windfarm project mentioned herein is also committed to promote the local wind energy industry, enhance the expertise and knowledge transfer in the development of this collaborative project. GPSC, meanwhile, seeks further opportunities to development more projects of this kind in Asia.

Mr. Worawat Pitayasiri, President and Chief Executive Officer of Global Power Synergy Public Company Limited or GPSC, the innovative power flagship of PTT Group, revealed that, on 22 May 2024, GPSC and Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners (CIP) delightfully celebrate the success in the completion of the joint venture Changfang and Xidao Offshore Windfarm (CFXD), with the capacity of 600 MW, which the installation of 62 turbines is finished. This achievement clearly reflects the efficiency of project management in spite of the challenging conditions and limitations from geography, weather constraints, and reliance on the local supply chain for windfarm components and installation activities. In addition, the sharing of knowledge and expertise between the partners can further pave ways for the development of future projects of GPSC and CIP in this region.

CFXD is regarded as the first windfarm project in Taiwan implemented under the collaboration of GPSC and CIP. The construction of the project had been kicked off in 2018. The 62 Vestas V174-9.6MW turbines with significant degree of localization have been completely installed. The power generation of each turbine has been gradually commenced since 2022. It is expected that the project can supply clean energy to 650,000 households.

“The CFXD project is seen as a significant milestone in the development of joint venture in offshore windfarm projects, which is in line with GPSC's business strategy to become a leader in the sustainable innovative power business. Besides, I would like to say thanks to the CFXD team and to our partners for the precious dedication in the project implementation, which greatly contributes to the success today,” said Mr. Worawat.
