TotalEnergies, alongside its partners Skyborn Renewables, EGCO Group, and Sojitz, announced the full operational launch of the 640 MW Yunlin offshore wind farm in Taiwan, according to TotalEnergies's release.
The wind farm, located approximately 15 kilometers off Taiwan’s west coast, features 80 wind turbines with a capacity of 8 MW each. It is expected to generate 2.4 TWh of renewable electricity annually, powering 600,000 Taiwanese households and reducing CO2 emissions by 1.2 million tons per year.
TotalEnergies holds a 29.46% stake in Yunneng Wind Power Co., Ltd., the joint venture managing the project. Skyborn Renewables owns 31.98%, EGCO Group holds 26.56%, and Sojitz holds 12%.

The electricity generated by the Yunlin wind farm is contracted to Taiwan Power Company (TPC) under two 20-year Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) at an average rate of $165/MWh.
