The Fengmiao I wind farm, with a capacity of 500 MW, is set to provide power to approximately half a million households. This installation is part of the larger Fengmiao wind project, which boasts a total capacity of 1,800MW and is situated around 35km off the coast of Taichung.

Jan De Nul Group has been contracted to connect the offshore substation of Fengmiao I to the onshore grid. This will be achieved using two AC high-voltage cables, with lengths of 45km and 44km respectively, and a combined weight of over eight thousand tonnes. The company's cable-laying vessel, Willem de Vlamingh, will be deployed for the task, which includes the transportation and installation of the cables, as well as the protection of crossings with other cables.

Wouter Vermeersch, Manager Offshore Cables at Jan De Nul Group, highlighted the company's commitment to renewable energy: "The Fengmiao wind farm brings us another step closer to a world driven by renewable energy. Jan De Nul Group is a big believer in the energy transition and has the knowledge, skills, and equipment to make that transition a reality. The two new XL cable-laying vessels we recently ordered prove that we are going all-out for green electricity."
