Belgian marine services and dredging group DEME has secured a contract for the installation of foundations and an offshore substation for the Formosa 4 offshore wind farm in Taiwan
DEME won the contract through its Taiwanese joint venture CDWE. The deal covers the transport and installation of 35 foundations and the offshore substation, as well as the scour protection works.
Formosa 4, developed by Taiwan-based Synera Renewable Energy, is located approximately 20 km off the coast of Miaoli County. Once completed, the wind farm will deliver 495MW of green energy, playing a key role in Taiwan’s energy transition.
DEME will deploy several vessels from its fleet, including the floating offshore installation vessel Green Jade, owned and operated by CDWE and the first of its kind designed and built in Taiwan. A rock placement vessel will be deployed for the scour protection works.
Subject to the final investment decision, foundation installation works are expected to begin in the first half of 2027.
