CIP and Far EasTone Partner on Taiwan's Fengmiao 1 Offshore Wind Project
Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners secures another major CPPA for Taiwan's offshore wind expansion. Discover how this milestone impacts telecom sustainability and offshore project execution.
CIP and Far EasTone Partner on Taiwan's Fengmiao 1 Offshore Wind Project
At SA Operations, we're keeping a close eye on developments shaping offshore infrastructure's future—especially where energy and telecommunications converge. One standout update is the recent corporate power purchase agreement (CPPA) signed between Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners (CIP) and Far EasTone Telecommunications for Taiwan's Fengmiao 1 offshore wind project.
According to CIP, this agreement marks a significant stride in Taiwan's shift toward low-carbon telecom operations. For professionals in the offshore and telecommunications sectors, it's a clear signal that sustainable energy sourcing is no longer a future ambition—it's today's priority.
Fengmiao 1, a 500 MW project, was awarded during Taiwan's Round 3 Zonal Development Offshore Wind Auction in 2022 and is part of a broader 1.8 GW plan. The scale alone is impressive, but its pace makes this project stand out. CIP has already secured CPPA agreements with other major players like United Microelectronics Corporation (UMC) and Sino-American Silicon Products within the same development window. According to the developer, Fengmiao 1 is expected to be the first project from Round 3 to break ground, signaling strong momentum and confidence from all involved stakeholders.
From an SA Operations standpoint, this kind of high-velocity development underscores a few key operational trends. First, offshore wind is no longer just the realm of energy companies. Telecommunications providers are stepping in with a strong demand for renewables, especially in markets like Taiwan, where green policy and technology infrastructure are evolving. Far EasTone's involvement shows that telcos prioritize long-term clean power sourcing to align with net-zero goals and are willing to collaborate with global offshore developers to make it happen.
Secondly, the execution timeline for a project like Fengmiao 1 highlights the growing need for specialized offshore personnel. Earlier this year, CIP tapped Dutch firm Van Oord and a JV between DEME and Taiwan's CSBC for installation work. These are not short-term contracts—they require sustained workforce planning, technical competence, and logistical precision, especially across multiple project phases. For crew mobilization, subsea ops, and cable-lay specialists, this is where our role at SA Operations comes in.
At SA Operations, we've seen how the global demand for renewable offshore projects is evolving. Projects like Fengmiao 1 aren't just engineering marvels but benchmarks of international collaboration—blending European offshore know-how with Asia's growing energy appetite. As new CPPA signings continue to bridge telecoms with offshore renewables, the call for skilled offshore professionals is louder than ever.
CIP's ability to secure multiple CPPAs in quick succession is a lesson in stakeholder alignment and operational efficiency. And for professionals monitoring the offshore telecommunications space, it's a strong indicator that hybrid infrastructure projects—those that serve both energy and data demand—are the direction of the future.
Stay tuned as we continue tracking how this project unfolds and what it means for offshore operations across Asia and beyond.
