芳二風

Fang-2 Wind Farm, like Fang-1, points to the Fangyuan Township area of Changhua County, indicating a wind project along or off the Changhua coast.

Based on capacity and naming, Fang-2 appears to be part of the Changfang array within the Changfang & Xidao offshore wind farm off the Changhua coast, developed by Denmark's Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners using Vestas V174 9.6MW turbines. The project was awarded 600MW of grid capacity in the Energy Administration's 2018 offshore wind selection, with turbines connecting to the grid progressively around 2023.

芳二風 (Wind) currently reports a net generation of 245.8 MW across 1 unit(s), against an installed capacity of 499.2 MW (49.2% 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.
