Wei Lan Hai Changhua Offshore Wind Project (WLHC), where EDF Power Solutions is the majority shareholder, has become 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. The milestone agreement was announced on October 17, 2025, marking EDF Power Solutions' first CPPA for offshore wind in Taiwan.

Project Details and Capacity

The Wei Lan Hai Changhua Offshore Wind Project was awarded in 2022 and features an installed capacity of 440 MW. The project represents 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 CPPA represents TSEE's first power purchase agreement signed since the company's inception.

The partnership will enable the project to contribute to supplying Taiwan with low carbon electricity while helping TSEE generate sustainable value and competitiveness for its clients.

Taiwan's Growing Energy Demand

Taiwan is experiencing rapid growth in electricity demand, driven by the semiconductor and AI sectors' needs. 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, the 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.

Market Dynamics and Enterprise Adoption

Over 50% of off-takers in Taiwan's renewable energy market are large companies from the semiconductor and high-tech sectors. However, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are increasingly embracing renewable energy. Due to challenges in obtaining international credit ratings, these companies are unable to purchase offshore wind electricity.
