DEME, through its Taiwanese joint venture CDWE, has secured a contract for the Formosa 4 offshore wind farm in Taiwan.

The scope includes transport and installation of 35 foundations and the offshore substation, alongside scour protection works.

Formosa 4, developed by Synera Renewable Energy, will be located about 20km off Miaoli County and deliver 495MW once complete.

DEME said it will use several vessels for the campaign, including the floating installation unit Green Jade, owned and operated by CDWE and designed and built in Taiwan. A rock placement vessel will carry out scour protection works.

The company has been active in Taiwan since 2019 when it co-founded CDWE, which has worked on projects including Zhong Neng, Changfang Xidao, Hai Long and Greater Changhua.

Frank Jonckheere, general manager Asia-Pacific – offshore energy, said: “The Formosa 4 contract builds on DEME’s strong track record in Taiwan. We are proud to play a significant role in advancing Taiwan’s clean energy transition and supporting its long-term vision for renewables.”

He added: “Through our joint venture CDWE, we provide integrated solutions that help our clients successfully develop their projects. In addition to bringing decades of knowledge and experience to Taiwan, we are nurturing local marine engineering talents and seafarers specialized in offshore wind who will help drive the industry forward for years to come.”

Subject to a final investment decision, foundation installation is due to start in the first half of 2027.
