Taipei, 17 October 2025 – Wei Lan Hai Changhua Offshore Wind Project (WLHC), where EDF power solutions is the majority shareholder, becomes the first to sign a 30-year Corporate Power Purchase Agreement (CPPA) with Taiwan Smart Electricity & Energy Co. Ltd. (TSEE), the newly established government-backed electricity aggregator in Taiwan.
Awarded in 2022, the Wei Lan Hai Changhua Offshore Wind Project, with an installed capacity of 440 MW, is one of EDF power solutions’ flagship offshore wind energy initiatives in the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region. Upon completion, the wind farm is set to generate 1 700 GWh of renewable electricity annually. This milestone agreement marks EDF power solutions’ first CPPA for offshore wind in Taiwan.
Taiwan is experiencing rapid growth in electricity demand driven by the semiconductor and AI sectors needs. Furthermore, the need for renewable energy is expected to surge to 40 000 GWh by 2030, fueled by corporate commitments to sustainability under the RE100 initiative. In this context, Wei Lan Hai Changhua Offshore Wind Project will contribute to Taiwan’s energy independence objective and support its low carbon energy transition including the 10.8GW target of offshore wind installed capacities by 2030.
EDF power solutions has extensive experiences and credentials in global offshore wind sector, its WLHC project represents TSEE’s first CPPA signed since its inception. Through this partnership, the project will contribute to supplying Taiwan with low carbon electricity and help TSEE to generate sustainable value and competitiveness for its clients.
Although over 50% of off-takers in Taiwan’s renewable energy market are large companies from the semiconductor and high-tech sectors, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are increasingly embracing renewable energy. Due to challenges in obtaining international credit ratings, these compagnies are unable to purchase offshore wind electricity.
