AFRY’s Six-Year Journey with the Hai Long Offshore Wind Project in Taiwan
The Hai Long Offshore Wind Project in Taiwan has reached a major milestone: all 73 jacket foundations are installed ahead of schedule. This marks the conclusion of AFRY’s six-year support for the Hai Long Project team, with our experts deeply involved in the foundation installation scope.
AFRY has supported the Hai Long Project since 2018, providing strategic bid support and expert guidance from the auction phase through financial close and execution. Our team contributed with the contracting strategy for transport and installation of the balance of plant (foundations, cables, offshore works), package management, project interface management, and jacket pile gripper scope management from contracting through execution.
What We Learned Together
By structuring responsibilities and interfaces early, we helped the project maintain a realistic critical path, align technical and commercial requirements, and manage local‑content obligations without compromising schedule integrity.
What stands out to me is the commitment and adaptability of our team throughout the different phases of the Hai Long Offshore Wind Project. Working in Taiwan’s offshore wind market means you have to be flexible, whether it’s the challenging offshore environment or a regulatory hurdle. Success here was the integration of AFRY personnel into the Hai Long Project team and the shared motivation of shaping Taiwan’s offshore wind future. The close cooperation with both internal and external stakeholders was truly inspiring,
says Timo Staal, Branch Manager, AFRY Taiwan
AFRY’s structured approach and collaborative mindset have helped Hai Long Project stay on track for commercial operation in 2026, supporting Taiwan’s transition to clean energy and a net‑zero future.
Looking ahead
As the Hai Long Project moves forward, we’re grateful for the opportunity to contribute to such a landmark project. Our experience here proves we can deliver in complex environments, and we look forward to working with new partners and clients who share our commitment to advancing renewable energy,
