Global renewable energy developer Ørsted is selling a 50% stake in Greater Changhua 1 offshore wind farm in Taiwan to a consortium comprising of Caisse de dépôt et placement du Québec (CDPQ) and local investor Cathay PE for about NT$75 billion (US$2.67 billion).
Ørsted will retain a 50% share in the project, which will be financed by its corporate balance sheet and will deliver the long-term operations and maintenance (O&M) services to the project. The 605-megawatt (MW) wind farm is part of the 900MW Greater Changhua 1 & 2a offshore wind farms, which Ørsted is currently constructing and expects to be completed in 2022. Majority of the deal proceeds will be used to pay for the engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) services for the project.
