台中港

Taichung Harbor Wind Farm is located around the Port of Taichung, an onshore wind project built on harbor-adjacent land, supplying renewable power to the central grid.

台中港 (Wind) currently reports a net generation of 20 MW across 1 unit(s), against an installed capacity of 35 MW (57.1% utilization).

Wind has no fuel cost and zero direct emissions, but output fluctuates heavily with wind speed and is less predictable than thermal generation. Generation is markedly seasonal — the Taiwan Strait's strong northeast monsoon in autumn and winter typically produces much higher output than summer. Onshore turbines cluster along the western coastline, while offshore wind farms concentrate off Changhua and Miaoli.

The Taiwan Strait is internationally regarded as one of the world's best offshore wind resource areas, and government-led offshore wind zonal development since 2018 has driven wind's share of generation steadily upward. Wind and solar are the two pillars of Taiwan's renewable expansion, but their intermittency also increases the grid's need for flexible backup such as storage and gas-fired capacity.
