The nacelle assembly facility is expected to be operational in 2021.
The groundbreaking ceremony was attended, among others, by the representatives from Ørsted, the developer of the 900MW Changhua 1 & 2a wind farms which will feature the Asia-Pacific variant of the Siemens Gamesa 8.0-167 DD wind turbine.
The same turbine model will be used on the 640MW Yunlin offshore wind farm. The turbine maker has also secured a conditional order of its 8MW model for the 376MW Formosa 2 offshore wind farm.
Back in December 2017, Siemens Gamesa announced plans to establish a manufacturing and pre-assembly site at the Port of Taichung.
