IOG Wind, formerly known as CWind Taiwan, has announced that it has secured a multi-year operations and maintenance deal on the Hai Long offshore wind project.

This is the company’s second long-term contract since its establishment in 2018 and the first since becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of International Ocean Group in 2023.

The scope will cover inspections of newly installed offshore substations, as well as undertaking inspection, maintenance, and troubleshooting of transition pieces, subsea foundations, and other structural components.

Further works, including subsea cable inspections and onshore substation operations, are planned to commence soon.

Located 45 to 70 km off the coast of Changhua, the Hai Long project consists of Hai Long 2 and Hai Long 3, with a total of 73 turbines. The project has its commercial operation targeted by the end of 2026, delivering more than 1GW of installed capacity.

“As the largest offshore wind project in APAC, we have signed over 100 contracts with Taiwanese suppliers during the construction phase, with a total value exceeding $4bn,” said Tim Kittelhake, project director of the Hai Long project.
