Vestas Unveils First Offshore Wind Turbine Nacelle in Taiwan

Following the complete local assembly of hub components in 2023, Vestas has, for the first time, accomplished the merging and testing of nacelles and hubs in Taiwan, the company said in a recent social media post.

In 2020, Vestas signed an agreement with Taiwan’s Yeong Guan Energy Technology Group (YGG) to source additional components for the production of V174 turbines, which are set to be installed in Taiwan. The agreement covers rotor hubs, hub plates, and nacelle base frames.

Two years later, Vestas, together with its partner Ten Li Offshore Wind Technology, produced the first V174-9.5 MW blade at its facilities in Taiwan. The blade was installed at the Changfang and Xidao offshore wind projects.

In November last year, Vestas completed the assembly of the rotor hub for the V174 wind turbine.
