Jan De Nul has signed a contract with Synera Renewable Energy (SRE) for the installation of export cables on the Taiwanese wind farm Formosa 4. The Belgian company will transport, install, and protect 60 kilometers of subsea cables to bring green energy ashore from the offshore wind facility. Additionally, Jan De Nul was selected as the preferred contractor for export cables to SRE's wind farm Formosa 6, located 55 kilometers southwest of Formosa 4.

The new contracts provide Jan De Nul with a continuous project portfolio outlook in Taiwan up to 2028.

Taiwan's Offshore Wind Energy Development

In less than a decade, Taiwan has built a capacity for offshore wind energy of more than three gigawatts, generated by 374 wind turbines. This achievement puts Taiwan in seventh place worldwide for offshore wind capacity. With projects currently under construction, Taiwan is expected to advance to sixth place this year, surpassing Belgium. By 2030, Taiwan hopes to exceed a capacity of 13 gigawatts as part of its pathway to net-zero emissions by 2050.

Jan De Nul has been active in Taiwan since 1990 and has contributed to the development of offshore wind energy from its start in 2017.

Formosa 4 Wind Farm Project Details

The Formosa 4 wind farm is situated 20 kilometers off Miaoli County's coast. Thirty-five turbines will generate a capacity of 495 megawatts, providing green energy to approximately half a million households. To bring this energy ashore, Jan De Nul will transport, install, and protect 60 kilometers of submarine HVAC cables. The works will start in 2026 and continue in 2027. The company will deploy its cable-laying vessel Willem de Vlamingh for the installation operations.

Jan De Nul's Expanding Taiwan Portfolio

Wouter Vermeersch, Director Subsea Cables Offshore Energy at Jan De Nul, stated that the company has successfully delivered several fully operational wind farms through large EPCI contracts, which means they take on the entire project from design and procurement to construction and installation. The company has supported almost all of Taiwan's wind farm developments with a wide range of transport and installation solutions, including pre-sweep operations, subsea rock installation, and cable laying services.

Beyond the Formosa projects, Jan De Nul is installing cables for the Greater Changhua 2b & 4 offshore wind farms and is preparing to install export cables at Fengmiao 1 in 2026. Vermeersch expressed pride in the new contracts with SRE, emphasizing Jan De Nul's role in supporting Taiwan's pathway to net-zero emissions by 2050.

Belgium-Taiwan Trade Relations

The new contract announcement follows Jan De Nul receiving an award from the Belgian Embassy in Taiwan, highlighting the company's long-standing commitment to the development of offshore wind energy. Cooperation between Belgium and Taiwan has been on the rise for several years, with trade between the two countries more than doubling between 2020 and 2025, according to the Belgian Embassy in Taipei.

Jan De Nul has been at the forefront in supporting Taiwan's renewable energy ambitions, with Vermeersch noting that the company continues its journey in Taiwan with multiple ongoing and planned projects extending through 2028.
